Autism Awareness Program

BY SHAUNDRA RUSHTON

April was Autism Awareness Month. To celebrate, the Clearfield City Police Department wore Autism badges and put puzzle decals on their cars.

Our police department is proud of the efforts they’ve made to be autism friendly. As part of these efforts, the department rolled out their Autism Awareness Enrollment program last year. This program helps law enforcement, EMS, Fire, and other emergency responders communicate and interact with individuals with autism.

Individuals can enroll themselves or someone they know in this program by voluntarily filling out the enrollment form found on the Police Department page of the city website. Filling out the form provides critical information for emergency personnel responding to a scene or contacting an individual with autism. Visit www.clearfield.city/police-department/ to enroll today!
