The Summit Police Department is announcing the launch of a new community outreach initiative, Summit PD CARES: Community Policing Awareness, Response, and Engagement with the Special Needs Community.
The program was designed after several months of research, training, and collaboration with community partners and was created to help foster strong relationships and communication with Summit residents diagnosed with Autism, Alzheimer’s, and dementia.
Summit PD CARES is a modular program encompassing four unique services: CARES Registration, Smart911, CARES Sticks!, and Project Lifesaver.
