- New autism emergency response support program launches in Oakland County
Franklin-Bingham Farms police in Oakland County launched a program to improve emergency responses for autistic individuals. A study from Ontario found 16% of autistic teens and adults had police interactions in 18 months, with 19% experiencing physical restraints and 30% transported to emergency departments. Chief Curt Lawson, Kim Craighead, and Sara Grezlik discussed the initiative during a Local 4 Live interview.
