Did
you know that SAPD offers in person interpreting services as well as Deaf
Link® video interpreting services, to victims
of crime, at all SAPD police substations? These Services include; police
reports, investigations, and Victims Assistance for all offenses.
Interpreting is a necessity for the deaf and hard of hearing, especially for
Victims of Crime. SAPD is offering qualified interpreters to provide equal
access to all SAPD services as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
We
hope that SAPD’s, Project for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
will also be a method for the sharing of information and ideas. If in any
way you have an idea on how to provide better services for our deaf citizens,
please do not hesitate to let us know.
The tremendous outpouring of support from members of the Police Department
and our Community, to make services readily available to Deaf Citizens, makes
me extremely confident that we will succeed as partners.
