Montgomery Police Department, in partnership with Rock Brook School and Montgomery Special Education PTA (MSEPTA), are pleased to introduce a Special Needs Identification Decal Program, designed to improve safety, communication, and understanding between first responders and residents with special needs.
Rock Brook School Principal Thomas Connolly, Montgomery Police Chief Silvio Bet, Lieutenant Jason Larsen and Officer Sean Devlin.
This initiative provides voluntary identification decals for homes and vehicles, helping officers and first responders quickly recognize when an individual with autism, or other cognitive or developmental conditions may be present. The decals serve as an important tool to promote informed and effective interactions during emergency and routine responses.
The decals are available for pick-up at the Montgomery Township Police Department, at no cost to anyone wishing to obtain them.
“Our goal is to build trust and ensure that every member of our community feels safe and understood,” said Police Chief Silvio Bet.
“This program allows our officers and first responders to approach situations with greater awareness and sensitivity, ultimately leading to better outcomes for everyone involved.”
Thomas Connolly, Principal of Rock Brook School, stated “In partnership with the Montgomery Township Police Department and MSEPTA, these decals provide a simple yet powerful way to enhance safety, awareness, and support for individuals with autism and special needs.”
