The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) proudly renews the Certified Autism Centerâ„¢ (CAC) designation for the Goodyear Police Department, recognizing its ongoing efforts to strengthen how staff and officers serve autistic and sensory-sensitive individuals throughout the community. To renew its CAC designation, at least 80% of community-facing officers and staff completed autism and sensory training focused on understanding autism and developing strategies for more effective communication and interactions. Since first earning its designation in 2023, the department has continued building autism awareness into its staff training and community engagement efforts.
