Rome and New York Mills Police Departments Promote Autism Awareness
April 4, 2025 - 11:25
Each year, the police departments in Rome and New York Mills join forces to redesign their agency patches in vibrant colors to celebrate Autism Awareness. This initiative not only highlights the importance of recognizing autism but also fosters community engagement. The colorful patches serve as a symbol of support for individuals and families affected by autism.
In addition to raising awareness, the departments actively raise funds to support local initiatives. They often sell the specially designed patches or stickers, with proceeds benefiting Kelberman, an organization based in Utica. Kelberman provides essential programs and services for those impacted by autism throughout Central New York.
Through this collaborative effort, the police departments aim to educate the public about autism and promote inclusivity. The initiative emphasizes the importance of community support and understanding, ensuring that individuals with autism and their families feel valued and understood.
