Police Officers to have mandatory training in autism and learning disability

It is my understanding that most police officers do not have any training in understanding autism and learning disability and yet often are sent out into the community facing people like this when in crisis. Traditional hands on attitudes are the wrong way to approach autistic and learning disabled people and will only ever escalate perceived challenging behavior. Its imperative that our Police Officers are given the right skills to enable them to work with our most vulnerable people in society.
