BARNSTABLE, MA — April is Autism Awareness Month, and normally, the Barnstable Police Department would be selling autism awareness patches out of the police station.

With the new coronavirus causing people to have to social distance, plans have changed a bit. But police said they still want to raise money for the Kennedy-Donovan Center.

Barnstable police will sell police patches for $10 and mini patches for $5 via mail. To purchase, send a check made payable to the Barnstable Police Association with “Autism Patch” on the memo line. Include a note with how many and what kind if you want more than one type.
