Blue Envelope

Mission

Ventura County proudly presents the Blue
Envelope Program, a compassionate initiative
created to foster safer and more understanding
interactions between Law Enforcement and
community members with cognitive,
developmental, or mental health conditions -such
as Autism Spectrum, Disorder, dementia, anxiety
or others that may require special considerations.
We have collaborated with our partnering
organizations to build more compassionate
Ventura County for all.

Purpose

The purpose of the Blue Envelope program is to
create alertness and awareness for Law
Enforcement, that any member of our community
may have a condition or disability that could
impact their behaviour and, or ability to
communicate during a traffic stop, call for
service, or any citizen contact.

Ventura County proudly presents the Blue
Envelope Program, a compassionate initiative
created to foster safer and more understanding
interactions between law enforcement and
community members with cognitive,
developmental, or mental health conditions—such
as Autism Spectrum Disorder, dementia, anxiety,
or others that may require special considerations.
This program provides a simple but powerful tool:
a Blue Envelope that contains important
information to help officers recognize and
respectfully respond to the unique needs of the
individual during a traffic stop or any other
interation.

Through this collaborative effort, we aim to build
trust, awareness, and effective
communication—ensuring that every encounter is
approached with dignity, clarity, and care.

The Blue Envelope Program is completely
voluntary. There is no need for any type of
registration in this program. None of the
participating law enforcement agencies keep
any personal identifying information on anyone
choosing to participate.
