TRUSSVILLE An organization that provides training to law enforcement on how to handle cases involving those with special needs, made a visit to Trussville on Tuesday, March 9, 2021.
Interaction Advisory Group (IAG) conducted the training on autism and developmental disability, with the Trussville Police Department. The training took place at the Trussville Civic Center.
Nearly one in five people live with special needs. Co-founder of IAG, Dustin Chandler, said the chance of first responders encountering those with special needs increases every day.
“Officers are going to encounter it, so what is the best way to keep that person safe, treat them fairly and have the best outcome that we can? That is what we are looking at,” Chandler explained. “When you get to know that community and have a personal connection with that community, you really see the struggles of everyday life.”
