North Township Trustee Frank J. Mrvan is partnering with the East Chicago Police Department to kick start a free Emergency Identification Autism Bracelet program for the City of East Chicago.
The bracelet, which is numbered and brightly colored, allows officers to better identify and relate to children with autism in order to keep them safe. Once registered, police can look up the individual’s name and emergency contact information associated with the Emergency Identification Autism Bracelet.
Please fill out one of the forms below and submit it electronically on the North Township's website. The forms are available in English and Spanish. The completed form can also be mailed to: Tavell Grant, 5947 Hohman Ave., Hammond, IN 46320.
