Today we had a conversation with Corporal Brent King from the Dearborn Police Department, a well-known advocate for people with disabilities especially in the Dearborn community. We met him through a Blue Hands United Event for autism, representing the Dearborn Police Department. Cpl. King has worked on starting many initiatives within the Police Department to help accommodate and better understand the needs of those with disabilities and is hoping to expand these programs to other departments and groups. 

We focused our conversation on what the Police Department can do for people with disabilities, their current initiatives to help them, as well as any future and potential initiatives to better help them, how they are treated by police offers, and what resources are available to people with disabilities by the department.
