Our friends in the Panhandle Autism Society are hosting a free forum Saturday, April 10, 2021 on Disability and Law Enforcement information:
Join Detective Gus Wessel and Jennifer Cork, LCSW as they review information important for individuals with disabilities, parents, and caregivers/professionals on how they can help support and facilitate safe interactions between individuals with disabilities and members of law enforcement.
Topics Include:
Lost/found persons
Family/caretaker violence
Suspicious person reports
Mid-criminal investigation
Interacting with the court system (NEW INFORMATION!)
Autism and other disability safety cards will be available to attendees only.
Training contains updated information, please feel free to attend, even if you have attended in the past.
Disclaimer: Anyone outside of North Idaho is welcome to attend, but keep in mind that a lot of the content of the forum is related to the officer training that Detective Gus Wessel and Jennifer Cork, LCSW have been doing with local first responders (5 norther counties of Idaho) and the feedback that local law enforcement want the community to know. Thank you for your interest in this important topic.
