[QUOTE="rolling7, post: 1725168, member: 39026"] This is a different time. Back in the early 60s, I applied for a wavier and was totally turn down. So i do know the fellings you had going through that. I now have a son who is an Army Ranger and a medic. Here in Houston, Texas we have a monthly meeting between the police department and the deaf community and we share ideas as well as help one another. it is called P.I.P. positive interact program. Not sure if you have a group up there but do check it out. Our leader is Sgt. James Sobota with the HPD, Houston Police Department and more than once in the 28 years I have been attending P.I.P., the subject of deaf police officers has come up. While Houston has not deaf on the force, we do have many deaf on desk or support duty. Often, the deaf will share that they have meet a deaf person who is a full officer. So i do know in this age and time it is possible.......oh, to be young again!!! You may contact Sgt. Sobota at [email]James.Sobota@cityofhouston.net[/email] and he will be happy to fill you in about becoming an office. Good Luck and welcome to AD [/QUOTE]
