Community Inclusion Day
April 20, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Medford Police, along with Medford Fire and Armstrong Ambulance, will be holding a sensory-friendly inclusion day at the police station for tours and touch-a-truck activities. Families with individuals that have ASD and other physical and/or developmental disabilities are welcome. We will be having different first responder vehicles so individuals can familiarize themselves with them in case of an emergency. Families will also have the opportunity to enroll individuals in our Safe Watch Program.
Becoming familiar with firefighters, police officers and other first responders (and their vehicles & equipment) can help reduce anxiety and increase the chances of remaining safe during a real emergency. It is also helpful for first responders to meet the people with disabilities living in their community, so they have a better understanding of how to communicate and learn what their needs are during an emergency.
