A New Jersey man has met more police officers than a hardened criminal – and that’s the point.

Alex Mann has been on a mission to meet as many people officers as he can. He has had a busy week visiting three police departments in the state – Margate City, Ventnor and Freehold Borough.

Mann has autism and he is meeting with the officers to spread the word about autism awareness.

He has visited 459 different police departments – about a third of them are in New Jersey.
