💙 SPECIAL NEEDS OCCUPANT DECALS AVAILABLE 💙

The Aiken County Sheriff’s Office is proud to introduce Special Needs Occupant Decals. A new initiative within our Community Policing Division. These decals are designed to help increase awareness and promote safety for both children and adults with Autism in our community.

These decals are more than just a sticker and are intended to help law enforcement, first responders, and others, recognize that an occupant with Autism may be present in a vehicle or residence, and may not respond as expected. This initiative will help encourage a greater understanding and awareness during interactions or emergencies.

Decals will be available to:
• Parents of someone with Autism
• Legal guardians of someone with Autism
• Caretakers of someone with Autism

Please note:
• Decals are limited to 2 per family
• We will gladly supply more decals if needed, however a referral will be required by a case manager.

Decals are free of charge and are available Monday-Friday from 8:30-5:00 in the front lobby at the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office.
420 Hampton Ave NE Aiken, SC 29801

We are honored to support families in our community and to take another step toward creating a safer, more informed environment for anyone with Autism. 💙

Together, we can increase awareness, understanding, and safety!

Last week, we held the re-opening of our range and training facility following a number of significant upgrades and improvements!

These upgrades will provide our deputies with an improved training environment and help us maintain the highest level of preparedness, safety, and professionalism.

A few of the upgrades include newly planted grass on our range, storage buildings, sniper towers, moving targets, and restrooms. The upgraded range will also create opportunities for other local law enforcement agencies to utilize the facility for training. By making this resource available to other law enforcement partners, we can strengthen partnerships, encourage collaboration, and help support effective training throughout our public safety community.

Almost all the work was done in house by several members of our agency, and we are proud of the work that went into improving this facility. We look forward to putting it back in use for our deputies and our law enforcement partners.

Facilities, Better Training, Stronger Partnerships, Safer Communities
