disability training

[srz]

I'm wondering what type of training officers who are already in the field as well as cadets in training receive regarding cognitive/developmental disabilites as well as mental health diagnosis. I know what PA offers and have sat through a few classes as a disability advocate and I have their training booklets that were exceptionally well done (my opinion) What are other states doing? Do officers feel comfortable with the training they've received? What would you change or ask if you could?
