“As the Training Coordinator for the Burbank Police Department, I was excited to hear of a possibility to bring training on Autism to my Department.  With the knowledge that the rates of ASD are on the rise and the likelihood of having a police interaction with someone with ASD caused me a level of concern.Based on what I knew of the aspects of ASD, my fear was the outcome with a field interaction with someone with ASD would result in a use of force that could otherwise have been avoided or a missing person with ASD would not be handled with appropriate care and resources.  Also, I had a personal experience related to a missing child with ASD, which did not have a favorable outcome last year.  This incident happened near my home and brought a real sense of urgency to this training. After attending this training course and watching my Department attend, I am much more confident that the Burbank officers in the field are now better prepared for an encounter with someone with ASD. Thank you for the “tools in the toolbox” that all my officers now have from this training.”
