Autism Awareness Month

April is Autism Awareness Month

Honored to  support Chief Francis and the Essex Police Department's recent Autism Awareness Program fundraiser in collaboration with the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism.

April is nationally recognized as Autism Awareness Month and affects 1 in 36 children in the United States. The Essex Police Department has been selling and wearing autism acceptance police patches for the month of April.

All proceeds from patch sales go toward the Flutie Foundation's safety programs, which focus on keeping those affected by autism protected within their communities.
