Create Blue Envelope Program to help disabled residents during police encounters
In Plain English
Richmond lacks a program to help residents with autism, anxiety, deafness, or other disabilities communicate their needs during traffic stops or emergency situations. The program provides free blue envelopes, decals, and other items that signal to officers the person may need extra time or accommodation. If approved, the city aims to launch in April for Autism Awareness Month.
