Try Olathe, KS. Cops in Olathe knew how to handle deaf well because of large population of Deaf. Other cities near Olathe had no issue BUT if you are ouside of Johnson County, KS area, you're out of luck. I know it's not fair and scary if police don't treat you right if you're deaf...
I belived that we could use resources to try to get an attention. It's good idea to check to find out if you have Attorney or someone at Social Service that are familiar how to work with Deaf people. If you happen to be thrown into jail, you can contact them and they'll represent you. Would that work?
My old highschool deaf ex-girlfriend was arrested for DUI (she was just tispy) and rear ended the pickup truck crossing the railroad track. Cop came and found out she had alcohol in her breath. They tried to make her go to side of cruiser and she refused. She told them that she need to get her hearing aid so she can understand what Cops said. But Cops refused and she was 
big time and had a big fight with cops (she's only 5' 4"). She was handcuffed and threw her inside cruiser. She was soo 
and she kicked Cruiser window and broke it. Cop charged her for DUI and aggraviated alceration with officers and destruction of police cruiser. She was thrown in jail and she was able to call her boyfriend and he bailed her out.
She got her license suspended for 6 months but she showed up at court 3 months later, cops was no-show and Judge let her go without penalty and got her license back. She was very lucky. 
Sheesh! just over hearing aid!
I was amazed what she told me what she did and glad that I didn't marry her like that!!
