The 4-hour deaf sensitivity training class is entitled I Never Gave THAT A Thought! The series of joint collaborative training is ongoing. This area of the website is for the class on Saturday May 1, 2021, 0800-1200-hours, Pacific & Arizona Time.
Additional dates will be forthcoming.
Given the large number of deputies and support staff to train with a combined "super class," of possibly the sheriff's sworn employees of the invited agencies in the counties of Los Angeles Orange and Kern in CA, the Counties of Pinal, Santa Cruz, Maricopa, Gila, Yavapai, Cochise & Yuma along with the Yuma PD in AZ and others in both states, there will be even more dates for classes presented in order to train as many as possible with this unique, exclusive collaborative program.
Should you NOT be in law enforcement, yet have received an invitation to participate, you are on a POST list of training administrators and may register staff herein.
We expect that approximately 20 classes will be set up soon to accommodate the maximum number of participants. Thus, there will be a variety of starting times for the 4-hour class such as: 0700, 0800, 1200,1300, AND EVEN 0200 (2:00AM!) to make it easier for those after the midnight hour to benefit from this unique class.
AZ-sworn personnel may request a course completion certificate for POST credit.
PLEASE NOTE that AZ POST requires that you have a working camera while taking the class on your computer, iPad or tablet in order to receive credit. We discourage the use of smartphones due to the small screens on those devices which makes it hard to see the shown graphics. In addition, the audio is not conducive to a training class concerning hard of hearing and deaf issues. Participant material will be sent via email once you are registered. It is requested that you purchase an inexpensive pair of earplugs for our "dive into the pool of silence." They are available at most pharmacies.
The ASL alphabet and some useful words and phrases are taught along with a few American Sign Language (ASL) words and sentences.
THIS REGISTRATION PAGE IS FOR SATURDAY, MAY 1, 2021, 0800-hours.
