Cops for Inclusion: A Day with Kids of Diverse Abilities

Calendar/Event Details

Sat, Apr. 18 @ 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

This event is designed exclusively for children and families with children on the Autism Spectrum.  We know that often people with ASD utilize 911 and emergency services, and we want to make you and your loved ones feel safe around police officers before you see us in the event of an emergency.  Our goal is to host an event that allows us to interact with you in a sensory-inclusive environment while having fun and getting to know each other.

How it will work: we will set up different stations for your families to rotate through.  Inside, you'll learn about pedestrian safety, fingerprinting, our police robot, and what's on our vests.  Outside, you'll see what's inside our patrol vehicles, and watch our drone in action.  You will register for an hour-long block, and your time at each station will be approximately 10 minutes.  Your child will receive a goody bag at the start of the event and will collect items at each station to take home at the end of the day.
