About Stefan Bjes.
I am currently a patrol sergeant and I have served with the Addison Police Department for over 19 years. I am an active CIT officer and a CIT instructor regarding Autism for the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board. I have served my department in several different capacities, such a gang investigator, school resource officer, use of force instructor, rapid response instructor, field training officer, evidence technician, and juvenile officer. Over the past few years, I have begun a mission to train first responders about Autism and strategies for safer interactions. I use my professional and personal experiences as a father of two sons with Autism to train first responders – Stefan Bjes.
