People with disabilities make up a significant amount of our population. People with disabilities are an integral part of our communities. Understanding an individuals possible physical, sensory, mental or other unique needs; and the ability to accommodate them can prove crucial during rapidly evolving situations.
The ability to provide reasonable accommodation during an encounter, and potential incarceration is paramount in not only reducing the likelihood of a negative outcome, but possible accompanying litigation. By increasing the understanding of disabilities and possible required accommodations, it improves the working relationship between law enforcement and the community.

Our goal is to assist you throughout this process, and provide lasting solutions that can be the groundwork for positive change for all parties involved.
