As a Police Department, the likelihood to come in contact with a child or adult with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) continues to rise. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have estimated that one in fifty children between the ages of six and seventeen years of age have been diagnosed with ASD.
To help ensure the safety of children and adults with ASD, the Worth Police Department has compiled an
Emergency Contact Form (PDF). This form will provide us with pertinent information including a photograph, in the event your family needs assistance. This form may be downloaded or picked up at the Worth Police Station.
For questions or additional information contact Officer,
Joel Frias.
