Hi,

Another mother and I had a positive meeting with an ton police commander

last week around the issue of police interaction with people with autism and

other disabilities. He's willing to include a training segment

(probably 30 minutes - maybe up to 60) in a future in-service. With

163 officers, the training would likely need to be repeated over

several days.

I'd appreciate any information about any

municipalities that have done such training for police -- who were

presenters, contact person at police dept., etc.

Ellen and Rubin --

I

recall your earlier replies about training, mentioning Kane and Lake

Counties, I believe. Do you know anyone I can connect with to learn if

there's an existing training presentation, a presenter who'd do

training pro bono, any police officer whose department has had such training?

Thanks in advance.
