The Willow Park Police Department is launching the Take Me Home program, a program to help communicate with people of special needs during emergencies. According to a release from the WPPD “The Willow Park Police Department recognizes the importance for first responders to understand that stressful situations for a verbal or non-verbal person, especially with autism, can create misunderstood behaviors. Those behaviors can be mistaken for oppositional behavior, defiance, or being under the influence.” “This program focuses on serving citizens with autism, down syndrome, dementia or Alzheimer’s, and any other form of developmental or cognitive disabilities.” “The Willow Park Police Department will also be extending this free service to those who attend school, daycare, family visitations, doctor’s appointments and therapies in Willow Park.”
