***Blue Envelope Program***

North Caldwell Police Department Launches "Blue Envelope Program" to Support Drivers with Autism
The North Caldwell Police Department, in collaboration with all Essex County law enforcement partners, is proud to announce the launch of the "Blue Envelope Program." This initiative is designed to foster safer and more effective interactions between law enforcement and individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or similar conditions during traffic stops.

Recognizing that drivers with autism may exhibit physical movements or verbal responses beyond their control, the Blue Envelope Program provides a practical solution to enhance communication and understanding. The program aims to assist officers in adapting their actions to accommodate the unique needs of these drivers, promoting a safer and more supportive environment during police encounters.

The Blue Envelope serves as a discreet organizational tool where drivers can store essential documents typically requested during a traffic stop, including their vehicle registration, insurance card, and driver's license. The envelope also contains clearly printed instructions for the driver and critical information for responding officers. It is returned to the driver after the interaction and is not retained by law enforcement. Additionally, the envelope includes emergency contact information and a check box indicating whether the driver is verbal or nonverbal, providing officers with crucial context to guide their response.

The Blue Envelope Program reflects the North Caldwell Police Department's commitment to fostering understanding and ensuring the safety and dignity of all community members. By equipping both drivers and officers with the necessary tools to communicate effectively, we aim to create positive outcomes and reduce misunderstandings.

Residents of North Caldwell who wish to participate in the Blue Envelope Program can request an application from the North Caldwell Police Department, located at 136 Gould Avenue.

For more information, please contact the North Caldwell Police Department at 973-226-0800.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the surrounding law enforcement agencies that assisted our officers in the response and apprehension of the suspects.
