This new initiative features a decal that residents in Orange County can use to let deputies know.

The decals will remind deputies to use their autism training, as the person in the home or car may not speak, respond to or comply with verbal commands.

They may also have no awareness of danger.

OSCO is giving these decals out for free.

Decals can be placed near the front door of your house or on the rear window of your car.
