On Saturday, April 27, the Somerville Police Department and the Community Outreach, Help & Recovery (COHR) unit participated in the City of Somerville’s Civic Day. Together staff engaged members of the community in activities to encourage positive emotional awareness, regulation and resiliency for community members of all ages.

Staff also helped to promote the Blue Envelope Program, a new state-wide initiative to foster a safer and more understanding environment for drivers with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) during traffic stops. Attendees also had an opportunity to learn more information about services offered by COHR and trainings made available to both police officers and community members.

Civic Day aims to provide community members of all ages with fun, interactive opportunities to learn about City government, programs, services, and ways to get involved.
