We are Appalachian Wireless. Pikeville Police Department will soon be sporting new magnetic decals on their cruisers in support of Autism Awareness Month. With many people around the world having undiagnosed autism, Pikeville PD believes it's important to show support wherever they go. These are the first decorative decals ever put on the cruisers. Everybody sees our cruisers, our police cars all day, all night, all evenings in Pikeville. So we thought well that'd be a good idea, let's put something on the police cars. So Captain Blankenship got with one of the local businesses Jaded Green and together they dreamed up the ideal of that emblem, the shape, the colors, the Pikeville on it and it did a great job as you can see and as it's starting tomorrow they'll be on the police cars and I think everybody will enjoy it. It looks great. In addition to the decals, the department will be giving out free placards to those with an autistic person in their household. This will notify officers when to turn off their lights and sirens when visiting a house that has a placard so no disturbance will be made. We are getting placards made, we're getting brochures made, we've also got some other things going on and we're going to give them out free to people that maybe have an autistic individual that lives in their household. You can put on your mailbox or your home and if an officer has to come there the officer will be aware that there is someone with maybe special needs in there and it just helps us and it helps us know how to handle the situation maybe turn the blue lights off, no sirens, you know things like that that we know. The officers arriving on seeing those let's arrive and not upset so we want to make sure that we do the best we can do to understand and care for everybody but we just want everybody to be aware that what you're seeing on our cruisers are new and we want to make sure everybody knows that we we're standing behind all individuals and everybody take a look at them and see what they think.
