AUTISM NEW JERSEY’S LAW ENFORCEMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE Through our statewide networking efforts, Autism New Jersey has established a Law Enforcement Advisory Committee (LEAC). This critical committee consists of multiple state, county, and local law enforcement professionals with diverse backgrounds, ranks, geographic representation, and experience working with autistic individuals and their families. Their feedback and input help to shape and inform the direction of the initiative. The Committee meets regularly to share real-life experiences, identify existing and innovative autism-friendly practices, discuss successes and barriers, and strategize on encouraging the expansion and adoption of these practices. Moreover, advisory committee members serve as subject-matter experts and have routinely assisted other law enforcement agencies in raising autism awareness and supporting practice implementation.
