The Little Egg Harbor Police Department has joined the “Blue Envelope” program. This program is all about making our interactions with individuals on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) smoother and more supportive during traffic stops or motor vehicle interactions.
What is the Blue Envelope Program? It is a special tool designed to ensure clear and respectful communication between individuals with ASD and our officers. Inside, you will find all the important documents you need for a traffic stop: Driver’s License, Registration, Insurance Card and Emergency Contact. The envelope includes easy-to-follow instructions printed on the front making the interaction easy between the individual and the police officers. The Blue Envelope also lets us know if the individual is verbal or non-verbal, ensuring we communicate in the best way possible.
If you or your loved would benefit from this program, please stop by and pick up a Blue Envelope at the Little Egg Harbor Police Department, Records Office, 665 Radio Road, or by contacting Sgt. James Fehring with the Community Services Unit 609-296-3666 ext. 695.
