A local police department is becoming 'sensory-friendly.' Here's what that means.
Briefly

The Tewksbury Police Department is becoming "sensory-friendly" to better serve people with "invisible disabilities" like autism and PTSD, aiming to improve emergency communication.
"Whether a First Responder has training in how to approach someone with invisible disabilities can make a vital difference at crucial times," describes KultureCity's mission.
KultureCity's Impact Report states that the organization helped law enforcement save 48 lives through sensory kits and training, highlighting the importance of such initiatives.
Tewksbury Police Chief Columbus emphasizes their gratitude for the training opportunity, stating it will enhance officers' ability to communicate effectively with individuals with sensory vulnerabilities.
