The Blue Envelope Program is a program designed to help autistic drivers and other neurodivergent drivers have safer, less stressful interactions with police during traffic stops.
The Long Beach Township Police Department is proud to introduce the Blue Envelope Program — a community initiative focused on improving safety and communication between police officers and drivers on the autism spectrum during traffic stops.
We understand that flashing lights, sirens, and the general stress of being pulled over can be especially overwhelming for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. That’s where the Blue Envelope comes in. Clearly marked for easy recognition by officers, the envelope indicates that the driver may have different communication needs or responses during the interaction.
This voluntary program provides a blue envelope for individuals to store important documents like a driver’s license, registration, insurance information, and emergency contacts — all in one place for quick and easy access.
Each envelope also contains clear instructions for both the driver and responding officers. Drivers receive guidance on what to do during a traffic stop, while officers and first responders are given tips on recognizing signs of autism and responding with patience, understanding, and clarity.
Envelopes are now available for pickup at our police headquarters!
If you or someone you care about could benefit from this program, we encourage you to take part — and help us spread the word.
