PUBLIC SAFETY DISABILITY SUMMITPatrol and correctional officers frequently contact individuals with disabilities. Some are disabled as defined by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) or other statutes. Regarded as the second most important civil rights legislation to be passed, the ADA requires governmental agencies to conduct specific employee training or they will be in violation of federal law. Administrators, officers, and others are often unaware of how Title II of the ADA impacts them, impacts governmental agencies and their employees who interact with disabled individuals. This summit is designed to help public safety employees and municipalities minimize their liability, and presents the latest legal, scientific, and psychological research findings. Evidence-based proven practices and solutions are provided so you can return to your agency and begin resolving potential liability issues through training, policy, and more.
IPICD PUBLIC SAFETY DISABILITY SPECIALIST™ The IPICD Public Safety Disability Specialist™ (PSDS) is exclusively designed for educating and training public safety employees to legally and safely contact disabled individuals covered by the ADA. Similar, but unlike the ADA Coordinator who must understand counter height, slope of ramps, architectural design, etc. per ADA, the PSDS focuses primarily on Title II of the ADA, its amendments, and how these impact public safety employers and personnel. This is a one-of-a-kind certification that enables you to increase public safety credibility, accountability, public trust, and assist with high-liability issues.
The PSDS qualification is a must, if you testify as an expert witness and/or if your agency staff train personnel about excited delirium, ACE, mental health, vision-impaired and/or service animal contacts, firearms, defensive tactics, search and seizure, restraints, and similar transactions. Statistically, many people who are in a state of excited delirium or Agitated Chaotic Event™ (ACE) are disabled per ADA definition, and therefore your employer must train its personnel about disability issues. Plaintiff attorneys often claim “failure to train” about ADA in their civil rights complaint, and often win because public safety agencies failed to conduct such training. In 2010, one in five people in the United States had a disability (56.7 million individuals), and that number is rapidly growing. Many people in a state of excited delirium or ACE also have disabilities!
To qualify for the IPICD PSDS, you must attend all 3.5 days (no exceptions).
BREAKOUT SESSIONS Attend instructor qualification breakout sessions needed for the IPICD PSDS. If you can attend only one training program in 2020, this is the one to mark on your calendar. Participants will receive separate informational materials in each instructor program. Because of time constraints, you may not be able to enroll in each instructor program.
