Hearing Impaired - I believe all officers are trained in the very basics of sign language; I could be mistaken. Gang Members - Most all Law Enforcement Agencies in areas with high gang activity have a Gang Unit. Elderly – You must have patience.
Ms. Sue
Good answers. I'm not sure if all officers are trained in sign language, but the departments can certainly rely on intepreters -- either within the department or hired on a contract basis.
