The White Settlement Police Department has capped off Autism Awareness Month with a notable gesture of appreciation, giving a shout-out to Warrior Spirit Creations for their craftsmanship. The local woodworkers crafted a unique wooden plaque featuring the department's commemorative autism awareness patch, a piece now displayed with pride within the police station's walls.

Designed by the department's employees, the special patch served as a beacon throughout April, highlighting the importance of understanding and acknowledging the experiences of those living on the autism spectrum. The crafted plaque is more than just a decoration—it's a symbol of the department's commitment to inclusion and recognition of the autistic community.

According to the White Settlement Police Department, Chief Cook expressed his gratitude to Warrior Spirit Creations: "The donation looks great displayed at our agency! Thank you!" This sentiment of gratitude is echoed by the entire force, who stand behind the message of the campaign with steadfast support.

While the wooden plaque represents the culmination of a month-long awareness initiative, the department's efforts in fostering a more understanding environment extend beyond a single month. The commemorative patch and its wooden counterpart are just pieces of a larger puzzle of advocacy and education—a year-round commitment that the White Settlement Police Department has pledged to uphold for the autistic community.
