During the month of April, the River Vale Police Department is proud to stand with our community in supporting individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. We are committed to building a safer, more understanding, and inclusive environment for everyone we serve.
Autism awareness goes beyond recognition—it’s about acceptance, patience, and meaningful connection. Together, we can create a community where every individual is respected, supported, and empowered.
River Vale Police also participates in the Blue Envelope Program—a voluntary initiative designed to assist drivers with autism during motor vehicle stops. The envelope helps individuals easily provide important documents while discreetly notifying officers of a communication difference, allowing for a more informed, patient, and positive interaction.
If you or a loved one would like to participate, please contact the River Vale Police Department for more information.
