We are forwarding the names of the officers, your message, and the CCTV video references to our management.  They will deal with the officers appropriately.

There is a major Coalition for the Blind convention coming up early next month here in Orlando.  This will also be a good opportunity for the work force to be reminded of the proper procedures.
