In May we partnered with the Mesa Police Department School Resource Officers to present a BE SAFE Interactive Screening. We provided each officer with a sensory tool kit, which included communication boards, to help them in the field. We love the commitment Mesa has to this program and are honored to be able to teach and interact with the developmentally disabled community and law enforcement to make the world a better and safer place!
