It's all about safety!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Master Trooper Adam Gaubert's family and the entire Louisiana State Police.
EOW - 10.9.2021

Master Trooper Adam Gaubert was shot and killed from ambush while participating in the search of a murder suspect in Prairieville.
Last night we had the opportunity to hold a 2hr session at the 2021 Canine Search and Recovery Seminar in Jacksons Gap AL!
IAG recognize the importance of the volunteer canine handler and their partner when it comes to a missing person. Canine S&R teams in our communities are an invaluable resource for first responder agencies.
These teams do not get paid. They have a true passion for being part of the mission and for that we are very grateful!
Please reach out to them when you get "that" call!

Interaction Advisory Group wants to thank Mountain Brook Police Chief Ted Cook for committing to having his officers trained in the area of safe interactions with Autism and Developmental Disability.
This entire week we will be joined by members of the Alabama Association of the Deaf along with autism self advocates! Not only will officers be learning about autism/developmental disability, they will also gain the perspective of a Deaf person to help them understand more about best/safest ways to interact. Self Advocates truly enrich our training programs and we are committed to helping them become more empowered!!
We also would like to thank Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind for providing interpreters this week.

Birmingham, Alabama – July 8, 2021 – Interaction Advisory Group, LLC (IAG) today announced the addition of Ameet Bosmia, Ed. S, NCSP to its Advisory Board.

Bosmia will leverage his expertise for possible curriculum development and assisting the company in exploring future opportunities.
“Interaction Advisory Group has created a user-friendly framework, grounded in evidence based practices. This framework both equips and builds capacity amongst trainees across multiple types of professions and professional environments, including schools, hospitals and police departments, on how to interact with individuals with a range of disabilities that maintains both their safety and dignity.” stated Bosmia. “I am honored to join the advocacy efforts put forth by both IAG and its Advisory Board.”

ALABAMA Residents:
You can now add an EMERGENCY CONTACT to your drivers license or state issued ID card.
This could be very helpful in emergency situations where a loved one needs to be contacted.
While we hope law enforcement training will lead to officers using this function in case they are interacting with loved ones with autism or other developmental disabilities, we think this is a good start connecting caregiver with a loved one in certain situations.
https://www.wsfa.com/2021/06/04/you-can-now-add-emergency-contact-information-your-drivers-license-record/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=snd&utm_content=wsfa
Complete Form Here:
https://www.alabamainteractive.org/dl_renewal/welcome.action
As part of the Emergency Notification Law, you can add emergency contact numbers to your ID record for law enforcement to use if you’re in trouble.
