LINKED - AUTISM SAFETY PROJECT
Orange Police Department has partnered with LINKED- Autism Safety Project. The Department has implemented LINKED Safety Alert Forms, family emergency planning packets and sensory kits within our police cruisers.
Linked is committed to building strong partnerships between the first responder and special needs communities, ensuring that everyone has access to the support and resources they need to stay safe in emergency situations. Through a combination of trainings, workshops, and resources, LINKED aims to increase awareness and understanding of autism and other developmental disabilities among first responders. We provide information on how to effectively communicate with individuals who may have difficulty understanding and responding to traditional emergency protocols.
