2024年2月29日，纽约警察局公平与包容办公室启动了他们的第一个“纽约警察局美国手语倡议”队列，培训纽约警察局的手语成员成为认证的美国手语口译员。

Adjunct ASL professor Jessica Wohlstetter is the instructor for this amazing program. Over the next 8 weeks, this cohort will immerse themselves into the world of ASL interpreting as they work towards obtaining certification.
