What is the Autism Registry?
The Autism Registry
is a Windsor Police Service project in
partnership with the Autism Services Inc. that promotes communication and gives police quick access to critical information about a registered person with autism.
The Autism Registry can provide police with emergency contact information, detailed physical
descriptions, known routines, favourite attractions or special needs of the
individual with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This information can assist
officers in communicating with, attending a residence of or dealing with an
emergency involving an individual with ASD.
Goal of the Program:
The goal of the program is to give police quick
access to critical information about a registered individual with ASD in the
community in an emergency situation.

How it Works:
-
At this time, the Autism Registry is only accessible to those residents who reside within the Windsor Police policing jurisdiction (city limits).
-
Access the online Autism Registry report by clicking on the logo above.
-
Fill in a series of preformatted screens.
-
When complete, review and submit the report.
-
Complete the on-line registry form:
Once submitted, you will receive a thank you
notice which:
-
Confirms the registration
form is being processed and provides a temporary case number.
-
Provides a confirmation that the case is
approved and provides a permanent case number.
-
Provides the option to attach a picture
(face only picture similar to a passport or school picture) to
the form by replying to the confirmation email once approved.
-
Advises you of the option to place a static
cling window decal at your residence and/or on your vehicle, which will alert
police that there is an occupant with autism who may not respond to
verbal commands and who participates in the registry. These decals will
be provided by Autism Services Inc., and it will be the
option of the applicant to contact Autism Services Inc. for
these resources.
Register annually:
Annual registration is required to keep your
form active. It is the responsibility of the applicant
to resubmit the form. It is recommended that you resubmit on the
registrant’s birthday to make it easier to remember.
