POLICE in Conwy and Llandudno have been learning another language thanks to the North Wales Deaf Association.
Eight officers and staff attended training classes in British Sign Language to help them communicate more effectively with people with hearing impairments.
The training covered deaf and hearing impairment awareness, basic finger spelling and sign language.
Sergeant Chris Hovey of Conwy said: "Bearing in mind that around 17% of the population have some hearing loss, the time members of the Deaf Association have spent with us should prove to be extremely worthwhile."
Jane Priestley, of North Wales Deaf Association, said the government-funded project had been a success.
