Despite the increased likelihood of interactions, most jurisdictions lack protocols and report barriers to effective interaction and communication with individuals with disabilities. The Community Readiness Model (CRM) is a useful tool for guiding research and training in this area. The purposes of this study were to gain insight into the community of law enforcement personnel’s readiness to accommodate individuals with disabilities and uncover barriers to effectively serving individuals with disabilities. Using the CRM to develop the web-based survey, researchers collected data from 267 law enforcement personnel. Results provide information on the implementation of disability-related trainings, effectiveness when serving individuals with disabilities, and specific strengths and barriers that impact service to individuals with disabilities. Specific implications for law enforcement professionals include the development of trainings and technical assistance addressing specific disabilities and related accommodations.

The participants were 294 final-year high school students from the Sunshine Coast region of Queensland (Australia). The study employed a pre- and post-survey design that measured self-reported driving behaviour, sensation seeking, and self-reported future driving intentions of young drivers. T-tests between pre- and post-responses identified statistically significant positive changes in young driver intentions after the program when compared to their previously self-reported behaviours. Further analysis of the changes between the pre- and post-surveys demonstrate that the LAW program has a greater effect on female participants and those with higher levels of sensation seeking. The findings of this study indicate that police-led, school-based driver education programs may be an effective way of altering the driving intentions of young novice drivers and in turn promoting greater road safety.
