Spectrum Super Star December 2023

Terry Werho is a Central Precinct Commander with Gwinnett County Police Department and met Claire Dees,Spectrum’s Executive Director, through a partnership between Leadership Gwinnett and the police department. Through this connection they both saw an opportunity to build a new partnership between the Gwinnett County Police Department and Spectrum. Here’s what he had to say about his involvement. “The partnership had a personal touch to me because I have close family members and friends on the spectrum. I have been excited to share with families the work Gwinnett County Police does in preparing officers to handle situations involving our community members that are on the spectrum.  I have greatly enjoyed talking with parents and family members about safety tips. We had a great time during a visit to my precinct where families got to visit with our officers and ask questions. The opportunity to share information between our police department and members of spectrum is invaluable. I look forward to strengthening this partnership and continue working with Spectrum and its families.”
