MONTGOMERY COUNTY
The Montgomery County Police – Autism/Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), Alzheimer’s and Dementia Outreach Unit has worked to create what is now a “culture of awareness” in Montgomery County and beyond.
This program began in 2005, partly in response to the growing number of police calls for service involving missing residents with Autism/IDD, Alzheimer’s, and Dementia. The program has continued to develop and today provides a “total approach” to issues that these residents and police encounter through Education, Outreach, Follow-up, Empowerment, and Response.
An array of webinars, resources, materials can be found on their site:
