I commend the efforts of Autism New Jersey to produce and execute a Law Enforcement Initiative. Officers throughout the state have an increasing amount of encounters with autistic individuals. Meeting with other officers is a great way to fine-tune our methods and obtain ideas that will help bring all encounters to a safe conclusion. Many parents of individuals with autism work tirelessly to provide a safe environment for their children. Nothing is more satisfying than being a comfort to families when a need arises.
