Elyria Police Autism Alert Response

The EPD Autism Alert Response Form is a document designed to help Elyria Police Officers identify and understand the unique needs of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during encounters. The form is also an invaluable tool when officers are searching for missing children with ASD, as it provides critical, pre-collected information that helps officers respond more effectively and proficiently.

The main goals of the form are to provide critical information rapidly, enhance officer awareness and sensitivity, improve safety during interactions, facilitate fast recovery during missing persons incidents, support effective communication, and build collaboration with caregivers and families. The form should be completed by parents, guardians, or caregivers.

The Elyria Police Department is committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for individuals with ASD, utilizing specialized training to prioritize awareness, communication, and tailored responses to best serve the needs of our ASD population and their families.
