Quote:
Alex Mann a 22-year-old with autism, has a goal to visit as many police departments across the state. His aim is to support and share a personal perspective on how officers can better understand and interact with individuals with autism.

Mann visited the Princeton Police Department recently. This was the 293rd stop on his long trip.

During his visit to the police department, Mann got an up-close view of the patrol vehicles, visited K9 Ellie and Alex provided officers with helpful tips on how to interact with autistic individuals.

So far, Mann has visited 294 police departments in five states. He is committed to traveling over 10,000 miles to spread his message and show support for law enforcement agencies.
