How can members of law enforcement better interact with people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities? We hear from participants of a recent event with the Arc of Monroe and the Advocacy Alliance. We talk with members of law enforcement about police training techniques, and we hear from people with disabilities and advocates about their perspectives and experiences.
Our guests:
- Reenie Levy, self-advocate with the Advocacy Alliance
- Brian Potvin, staff member at the Arc of Monroe
- Lt. Richard Waldo, Community Affairs Bureau, Rochester Police Department
- Trooper Jason Klewicki, Troop E School and Community Outreach Coordinator, New York State Police
