Create Blue Envelope Program to help police interact with residents who have disabilities

Police & Community SafetyPublic Safety

In Plain English

People with autism, dementia, anxiety, deafness or other disabilities often struggle during police encounters. The program provides blue envelopes, decals, lanyards and other items that signal to officers the person may need extra time or different communication methods. If approved, the city distributes these items free at police stations and other locations.
