Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Offers Autism Awareness Decals

The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office is offering autism awareness decals as part of an effort to promote public safety.

The decals are intended to connect autism awareness with the sheriff’s office’s public-safety mission. The initiative places the office among the community institutions using awareness materials to support communication and safety.

Public-safety focus

Autism awareness can help bring attention to the needs of autistic people during interactions involving public-safety agencies. The sheriff’s office’s decal initiative presents that awareness work through a visible item associated with the agency.

Community awareness

The offer gives Richmond County residents a way to recognize the sheriff’s office’s autism-awareness effort. The initiative is not connected to an election or candidate campaign.

What comes next

Residents can watch for information from the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office about how to obtain the decals and how the office plans to use them in its public-safety work.
