Autism Support Kits for Police | Baltimore News

Baltimore County police are rolling out autism support kits—packed with sensory tools, picture cards, and communication guides—to help officers calmly connect with kids on the spectrum during stressful moments. Designed to de-escalate crises, these kits empower officers to respond with empathy, whether a child has wandered off, is in distress, or involved in an accident. Backed by the Hussman Institute, the initiative is now available for other departments too, turning community support into frontline readiness.
