A IMPORTÂNCIA DA COMUNICAÇÃO EM LIBRAS NO ATENDIMENTO POLICIAL: PROMOVENDO A INCLUSÃO DE PESSOAS SURDAS: THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNICATION IN LIBRAS IN POLICE SERVICE: PROMOTING THE INCLUSION OF DEAF PEOPLE

Abstract

Introduction: Communication is one of the fundamental pillars of human interactions, allowing for the exchange of information and feelings. However, for deaf individuals, traditional spoken communication is not feasible. In this context, literary works such as “The Awakening of Silence” play a crucial role in raising awareness among the public and security agents about the reality of deafness. Libras and Police Service: A Human Rights Issue: The inclusion of Brazilian Sign Language (Libras) in police services goes beyond practical communication; it is a matter of human rights. Police Training and the Need for Libras Proficiency: Police training must include Libras as part of a broader public inclusion policy, as training alone does not address all the challenges faced by the deaf community in Brazil. Assistive Technologies in Serving the Deaf Community: Innovations and Challenges in the Security System: Assistive technologies are also crucial and can be decisive in emergency situations.The Importance of Raising Awareness and Educating Society for the Inclusion of Deaf Individuals in the Security System: Additionally, raising societal awareness about the inclusion of deaf people in the security system is essential for the effectiveness of the measures adopted. Conclusion: The inclusion of deaf individuals in police services requires a comprehensive approach, involving ongoing training of security professionals, implementation of technological innovations, and, most importantly, the creation of a more informed and sensitive society towards the needs of this population.
