City of Batavia

The Batavia Police Department is participating in the Blue Envelope Autism Hero Project, an initiative designed to support individuals with autism, cognitive disabilities, communication challenges, or severe anxiety during interactions with law enforcement.
Participants receive a blue envelope that can be presented to an officer as a clear visual cue indicating support needs. The envelope can hold important documents such as a driver’s license or ID, vehicle registration, proof of insurance, emergency contacts, and communication preferences. The program is intended to reduce misunderstandings, ease anxiety, and promote respectful, effective communication between residents and officers.
The program is voluntary and free, with no registration or proof of diagnosis required. Individuals who live, work, or spend time in Batavia are eligible. Envelopes are available at the Batavia Police Department front desk, 100 N. Island Ave. For details, visit bataviail.gov/blueenvelope
