The Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) have launched a statewide Blue Envelope initiative to assist people with disabilities during law enforcement encounters. This voluntary, nationwide program aims to identify potential communication barriers and equip law enforcement officials with information that may be helpful during interactions. The blue envelope is designed to be easily recognizable and may contain information such as an individual’s communication preferences, sensory needs, or other considerations. Pennsylvanians can pick up blue envelopes at their local PSP station. Read more: bit.ly/PSP-BEP
