> The Mentoring and Outreach Workgroup is inviting all to participate in an open and cordial discussion on how persons with disabilities can often be misunderstood by interactions with law enforcement. “These misunderstandings can have traumatic, even deadly, consequences”. Therefore the Workgroup will facilitate a dialog on bridging the gap between authorities and people with various disabilities; by providing awareness on diagnoses, white canes, auxiliary aides and appropriate handling.
>

> 
> We will hear from several officers from the Bureau of Community Relations, such as  Officer RaShawn Rahim, Officer Adrian Calhoun, Officer Bohdan Roshetskyxxx, and Joseph Rider,  former employee of San Diego Crime Commission. All will provide suggestions and best practices on how to communicate, conform  and request reasonable accommodations when you encounter law enforcement.

> Of course this event  is unable to make a significant impact across the country in one night. However, a first step-by-step approach is a good start. This is why the Mentoring and Outreach Workgroup is encouraging you to attend this powerful and informative forum.

> The event is open to all!
