ICYMI, earlier this month, PA Capitol Police announced the department is launching the Blue Envelope Program. This program is a voluntary, nationwide initiative aimed at reducing communication challenges during traffic stops between law enforcement and individuals with autism, anxiety, dementia, or other neurodivergent conditions.

Although Autism Awareness Month is coming to an end, DGS wants to make sure that folks who require or want accessible alternatives are given such all year round. DGS Secretary Reggie McNeil said it best, “DGS is focused on making sure every Pennsylvanian can engage with state government safely, confidently, and with dignity.”
