THE National Police Youth Club of Jamaica (NPYCJ) yesterday launched Safe and Sound JA, a project that is expected to make it easier for the hearing impaired to communicate with the police.
Over the next three months, law enforcement officers at the Half-Way-Tree and Mandeville police stations will be taught basic sign language to ensure that they understand and appreciate the sensitivities and concerns of the deaf community. The initiative is the first of its kind in Jamaica, and possibly the Caribbean, according to NPYCJ President Letesha Whyte.
