Safety Initiatives

 AngelSense  

The AngelSense monitoring device and mobile app is the only GPS and monitoring solution designated specifically for individuals who have a history of wandering due to illness or disability (for example: Autism, Alzheimer’s). This program is in conjunction with the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office and is offered free to county residents.

 

 Middlesex County Public Safety Alliance   

The Public Safety Alliance for Individuals with Disabilities is a no cost, voluntary service open to any individual with a disability who resides, works, or attends school in Middlesex County. The purpose of the database is to help law enforcement and first responders better assist residents with a disability in an emergency situation or during a police encounter.

 

 Blue Envelope Program  

The Blue Envelope program is designed to create safer and more positive interactions between law enforcement officers and individuals with autism during traffic stops. The program provides autistic drivers with a distinct blue envelope to store essential documents such as their driver’s license, registration, and insurance information.
