Oregon Police Training: How to Communicate with Deaf in American Sign Language Better

Chad Ludwig created a Deaf and Police interaction training video with the Oregon Police Department for police officers and other responders to communicate when interacting with deaf or hard-of-hearing citizens by using American Sign Language, Voice Carry Out (VCO) devices, tactile signing boards, or written notes. To improve the safety of Deaf people and give them equal access, we can improve how they interact with police.
The training program builds a partnership and understanding between the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training - DPSST and Oregon’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities.

I love seeing people communicating with sign language. It looks so cool to me 😍😍😍😍

[@davidthedeaf]

Please do not equate people speaking in Spanish, Tagalog, or American Sign Language as entertainment, and exotic. You are not praising or uplifting the Deaf when you do this. You are actually making us “othered” and degrading us and ASL. If you saw a gang member who is Deaf telling you they were going to do horrible things like kill or rob or beat you up, it would NOT look pretty or cool to you.

👍👍👍👍

There are lot of police do not want to learn ASL. They feel freak.

[@harleyhawkeye01]

I dont think so they freak mean never saw deaf before, that's legal law freak do you ?

[@rogueuniversities6866]

That's very strange, it's good to learn your country's sign language

[@davidthedeaf]

Not fast actually. Oregon style ASL is not slow or fast. You should see New York Deaf sign.

Oh, the irony of calling an American police department the Department of Public SAFETY

[@davidthedeaf]

When they come to a home where someone has been threatened, and rescue them and arrest the perpetrator, they do create safety and enforce the law. Not all cops are evil.
