Key West High School student Monty Van Staden enjoyed lunch with Key West Police Chief Sean Brandenburg last week.
Chief Brandenburg had donated a âLunch with the Chiefâ gift certificate in support of a local non-profit raffle.
The generous winner of the raffle decided to donate the lunch to a student. The donor, who wishes to remain anonymous, then worked with Keys to Be the Changeâs Heidi Golightly to choose a student who would most enjoy talking with Chief Brandenburg over lunch. Monty was also treated to a ride on the police boat.
DiMauro thanked the commission for the recognition and for joining in a worldwide effort to raise awareness.
Both chiefs and their departments are strong advocates of autism awareness and work closely year-round with the Autism Society of the Keys (ASK). Ambulances and police cars now contain sensory boxes to help comfort anyone in crisis with autism. Last year several police cars were wrapped with autism awareness puzzle pieces, and the school resource officersâ cars remained wrapped. And this is the second year that officers are wearing blue badges to raise awareness. Members of the fire department have printed up special autism awareness shirts featuring the familiar puzzle pieces and using them to raise funds for ASK.
