NRPS introduces deaf – hard of hearing communication placards

The Niagara Regional Police Service has partnered with Canadian Hearing Services, Inc. to provide accommodations between people who are deaf/hard of hearing and the police.
Placards for officers have been created to keep in their cruisers that can be used when communicating with a member of the deaf/hard of hearing community.
In addition, officers can also access professional interpretation (sign language) services on any device with an internet connection.
Members of the public will be able to pick up a placard at the front desk of any Niagara Regional Police Station to advise officers that they are deaf/hard of hearing.
