Wenham PD Offer Autism Awareness Seatbelt Covers

WENHAM, MA — The Wenham Police Department is offering autism awareness seatbelt covers for community members.

The autism awareness seatbelt covers are free for any resident who needs one. The covers, which can also be attached to the strap of a backpack, help first responders identify if a person in a vehicle is on the autism spectrum during an emergency, allowing them to respond accordingly.

The blue seatbelt covers feature the Autism Awareness logo along with the phrase "May resist help."

The covers were donated to the department by the Doug Flutie Jr Foundation for Autism. The seat belt covers are located in our lobby on a limited supply basis.
