Montgomery County citizens with mental disabilities like Alzheimer’s, autism, and down syndrome are at greater risk. MCPD officers respond to calls for caregiver help in locating a person who has wandered – both adults and children. The MCPD Autism/Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Outreach Unit facilitates a layered approach to educating officers, families, and the communities in which these individuals live.

 

MCPF grants support the Autism/IDD Outreach Units efforts to educate our Montgomery County community and officers, facilitating events such as the 5th Annual MCPD Autism/IDD Night Out.
