Partnering with the Deaf Community

From American Sign Language Interpretation resources, compliance with ADA standards, to understanding the deaf community subculture, we can help.
Interactions with People with Autism & Their Caregivers
According to the CDC, 1 in 44 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Is your organization prepared to work with that community to offer the best services? Is your agency wanting to be proactive vs. reactive when interacting with members of the Autistic community? We can help your group with best practices, policy creation and training to offer the best service you can to a vulnerable part of our communities.
Bridge Building for the LGBTQ+ Community
Gallup polls find 5.6% of the national population identifies as LGBTQ+. In major urban areas, such as Chicago, that rate can rise above 7%. Let us help your organization with a sustainable program to build partnerships with the LGBTQ+ community.
Connecting with the Disabled Community
Over 42 million Americans or roughly 13% of the US population are disabled. This includes those with vision, cognitive, walking, self-care or independent living difficulties. American Indians and Alaska Natives (18%) are more likely than Americans of other racial and ethnic backgrounds to report having a disability. Those with a disability earned a median of $28,438 in 2021, compared with $40,948 among those without a disability, according to the Census Bureau. The rate of violent victimization against persons with disabilities (46.2 per 1,000 age 12 or older) was almost four times the rate for persons without disabilities. Is your agency creating partnerships with this vulnerable community? We can help design programs, policy and offer training on building community partnerships with the disabled.

Policy Updates & Creation
Policy Updates & Creation
Policy Updates & Creation
Policy & Procedures are typically not near the top of the "to do list" of agencies. Having outdated policies that are not compliant with current case law or statutes can put your officers in danger and leave your organization at risk. Allow our policy experts to help make policy updates run more smoothly.

Human Resources Consulting
Human Resources Consulting
Does your agency have their own HR person, or do you rely on your city or county’s HR department to handle complex police human resource requirements? Is your supervisory staff trained on the intricacies of FMLA, ADA, EEOC, USERRA, and the newly established 2024 laws relating to employment, paid time off and statutorily required benefits for your employees. Does your city or county HR department know the specific laws associated with the public safety employee benefits act? Staying pro-active and up to date on case law, federal statutes and state law changes can strengthen department morale and reduce risks.
Operations Consulting
Human Resources Consulting
Operations Consulting
Staff studies are not why most entered law enforcement. An all-too-common response when asked why an agency does something is, “that’s how we’ve always done it”. A great deal has changed in the last 20 years and your department can pivot in some areas to allow for better use of work hours. Let us know what areas you want to focus on, and we can help you design path to success by eliminating waste, increasing outcome-based approaches and help your agency do more under decreasing or reprioritized budgets.
Transparency
Human Resources Consulting
Operations Consulting
Transparency, forward facing websites and applications are becoming more common place. Most agencies are already trying to stay afloat with the added tasks, mandated reports, and front-line police work, they are not able to always have a forward-facing program. Transparency programs can help better inform your communities, allow for a freer flow of information, and help break down barriers to communications. Help remove the mystery of what your agency does while still protecting the integrity of ongoing investigations. Updated crime statistics, critical incident information and use of force reporting can help those you serve know better how you accomplish this.
