I found these but didn't want to put Christian/BergC's topic off (he asked a question and these don't answer). But they are important and intersting
- Communicating with People Who Are Deaf or Hard of Hearing - ADA Guide for Law Enforcement Officers
- Practical Suggestions and others
- MODEL POLICY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT ON COMMUNICATING WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE DEAF OR HARD OF HEARING
- Study Reveals Unique Issues Faced by Deaf Victims of Sexual Assault
- Service providers and deaf community members agreed that law enforcement must improve its methods for communicating with the deaf community, whether they are victims, witnesses, or suspects. They also suggested that police officers need training, interpreters, and more clearly defined agency policies. For example, although this research project revealed that the Minneapolis Police Department has policies for locating an interpreter, its officers know very little about how to identify if a person is deaf or how to communicate with him or her in the field.
Despite these challenges, the researchers regard the Minneapolis Police Department as a model for other jurisdictions when it comes to serving the deaf community. Christian, aren't you in the Minneapolis Police Department?

for posting this! I see Christian has not and probably won't ever respond to his thread, which is typical for a potential police officer and "shoot first, ask questions later."
I ask him so many questions and he responds with patient answers.
