Press release from the Concord Police Department:
March 31, 2022
Chief Joseph O'Connor is pleased to announce that the Concord Police Department will be supporting Autism Acceptance Month in April through a variety of initiatives to foster awareness and acceptance of those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Special patches are available for purchase. Patches cost $15 and may be obtained by contacting Sgt. Timothy Landers at [email protected]. Proceeds from the sale of patches will be donated to MinuteMan ARC.
"It's important as a Department that we meet the needs of our community," Chief O'Connor said. "By continuing this ongoing autism awareness initiative we are able to better serve our community. I want to thank our community members and the Concord Police Relief Association for their steadfast support."
Autism awareness seatbelt covers are free and available year-round. The seatbelt covers, which also can be attached to the strap of a backpack, help first responders identify if a person in a vehicle is on the autism spectrum, allowing them to respond accordingly.
Those interested in obtaining a cover should contact Sgt. Landers.
