Children with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities

The Cranston Police Department would like your help with implementing a program to help identify homes of children with Autism and Intellectual Disabilities (ID).

The goal of the program is to improve the safety of your children if/when they have interaction with police. The first step of this program would be to identify the addresses of the children. The addresses will be shared with the police department in an effort to provide officers with information prior to their arrival. This information will be voluntarily shared and kept confidentially within the Cranston Police Department. This program would help the officers to minimize the possibility of creating distress for the children and create a more positive police interaction.
