Port Huron, MI — The Port Huron Police Department will be having Special Needs and Autism Day on Saturday, April 10th in the St. Clair County Community College parking lot. The event will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The project is meant to bring awareness to special needs community members.
The Police Department has established a process where information is gathered that helps them assist in interacting with or locating someone with special needs. Caregivers can fill out a form to share that information at the April 10th event, or at the Police Station, or online. The forms will be kept on file and available in case of an emergency.
Special Needs and Autism Day is being held in conjunction with the Port Huron Fire Department, TRI Hospital EMS, St. Clair County Community Mental Health, and Anthony’s Autism Awareness.
At the event, participants will be able to meet police officers, check out the police cars, and get some safety information. There will also be games and informational handouts.
Contact Officer Duane Hunger at hungerd@porthuron.org or 810-984-9715, extension 1030.
