A group of North Texas deaf and hard-of-hearing students got a personalized tour of BurlesonPolice and met an officer who's walked in their shoes.
"I want to learn more about how cops, you know, work with deaf people," 15-year-old Ava Tinsley said through an American Sign Language interpreter.
Students got to climb on a police motorcycle, go through a SWAT vehicle, learn about drones, and see a drug-sniffing dog in action. "They need to experience life, but experience it in a way that they also have communication," said Shannon Johnson, Regional Day School Program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program Coordinator."Being here today with our interpreters, our teachers, they have access through sign language to experience the same situations that many kids get to do."Sign up for NBC DFW newslettersThey also could see themselves behind one of the badges.
"I want them to think, if she can do it I can too," Trevino said."I'm not here to tell them, oh be a police officer. I'm here to show them that it's possible to forge your own path, to be anything you want to be." "Don't think deaf people are inferior," Tinsley said."They're the same. We're on the same level. We're human. There's nothing different. All deaf people can't do is hear. That's it!"
