In an effort to increase autism awareness, PLEA Charities has commissioned the production of an Autism Awareness Badge. This badge is authorized for wear on duty during the month of April, which is recognized nationally as Autism Awareness month.

We are collecting orders for the Autism Awareness Badge. The purchase of these badges are open to all sworn employees and civilian staff of the police department. Ordering will be open June 16, 2025 – September 14, 2025.

The cost for the badges:

• $100 for PLEA members
• $120 for non-members

All badges must be picked up at the PLEA office, you will be notified when it has arrived via email.

One large bulk order will be placed before October 1, 2025. Delivery will be about three to four months following the order.

We make every effort to work with Blackinton to have them before April 2026. If you have any questions contact Brandon McCombs bmccombs@azplea.com, or call the PLEA office: : 602-246-7869.
