Blue Envelope Program

The West Milton Police Division has joined the nationwide effort to facilitate communication between individuals on the autism spectrum and law enforcement during traffic stops and operator interactions.

The Blue Envelope Program is a collaborative effort to foster a safer and more understanding environment for drivers with autism spectrum disorder. The Blue Envelope has the person's information on the front for the law enforcement officer and holds essential driver documents. The envelope features critical communication guidelines to assist law enforcement in recognizing and adapting their approach when interacting with a driver with autism.

Key objectives of the initiative include Enhancing Understanding by providing officers with immediate and accessible information, Reducing Anxiety during a traffic stop, providing a visual clue that helps officers communicate, Streamlining Communication, and Encouraging Preparedness for individuals with autism and their families.

The Blue Envelope is more than just an envelope; it symbolizes our commitment to service and understanding in the community.  Envelopes are available for pick up at the police department.
