Project Communicate was part of Deafpride’s effort to build bridges between the District’s deaf population and its police force, both by enabling deaf people to access public crime prevention programs offered by the police and by providing a forum for the deaf community and the police to discuss each other’s needs and experiences. Project Communicate was unfortunately short-lived due to limited funding from the District government.
