[blindlaw] Law Enforcement Officers Seek Assistance

[M BG]

Though I like your idea of the baton and handcuffs being a way to identify the officer (and found it humorous), not all law enforcement carries these items.  I have a stalker and there has been an ongoing investigation in which several members of law enforcement have had to come to my home to obtain sworn statements, computer evidence, and what not.  Each time I am precautions and make arrangements to know who is coming and when in addition I will call my lead investigator if one shows up unannounced.  
   
  I also live in San Diego and during the wild fires here, I truly wished that there was a way for local fire departments and agencies to know somehow from my call or the reverse 911 call that I was blind and needed extra help when evacuations were mandatory.

  With the identification question, the Officer can allow the blind person to 
call the police department and verify the officer's identity and location. 
Other than that, the baton and handcuffs can help convince the individual.
