Public safety

The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Division wants all people to be able to safely and effectively communicate in emergencies involving law enforcement. We encourage law enforcement and other emergency responders to have this communication card on them in case they encounter a person who is not responding to verbal commands.

Traffic stop communication card

This card can serve as an emergency communication tool for law enforcement officers to protect the safety of people who are deaf and hard of hearing. It does not replace communication accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, but can be used in emergencies to determine a person's communications needs.
