The aim of this research was to determine the current knowledge of uniform police at one 24-hour police station regarding people with communication disabilities, in order to implement effective communication strategies, and award the Communication Access Symbol. Twenty-nine frontline uniform police from one police station responded to a paper-based survey that probed the frequency of their interactions with people with a communication disability and their knowledge of communication strategies. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data were analysed thematically. Results indicated that although the majority of respondents were experienced police who frequently faced difficulties in interactions, they had limited communication strategies and had received little or no training in using visual supports. The results from the survey informed the communication strategies that speech language pathologists will employ to address the barriers police face in initial interactions with community members with communication disabilities.
