The Tyngsborough Police Department proudly participates in the Massachusetts Blue Envelope Program, an initiative designed to promote safer, more positive interactions between law enforcement officers and individuals with autism during traffic stops and other encounters.
The program provides specially designed blue envelopes that can hold important documents, such as a driver’s license, vehicle registration, and emergency contact information. The envelope also serves as a visual indicator to responding officers that an individual may benefit from additional patience, clear communication, or accommodations during an interaction.
Participation is free and voluntary. The program is intended to reduce anxiety, improve communication, and promote understanding and respectful interactions between individuals with autism and law enforcement.
