Monmouth County holds event for Autism Awareness and Acceptance

April is Autism Awareness Month. Monmouth County is trying to keep those on the spectrum safe. They run one of the most successful life saving programs in the state. Members of the Sheriff's Department first responders took part in the annual Autism Awareness Forum programs like project lifesaver, a radio frequency tracking bracelet and blue envelope and autism identifying kit to help and assist police stop. Interactions are available to anyone in Monmouth County who signs up a lot of relief because my son was getting to a point to where he would try door knobs even though we put on the safety latches. It was still possible for him to get out and being that he's non verbal project lifesaver was definitely a relief because it gives you a peace of mind just in case he does so happen to wander programs that we have available really provides vital information in times of need. And this is the tools that our officers need. Our first responders need at a time when this crisis, that information is valuable and having it at that moment can save lives. You can get more information on programs available to those on the spectrum. And their families by contacting your local police department or sheriff's office.
