Breaking The Silence
Officer Myra Jordan of the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police is dedicated to helping the deaf and hard-of-hearing community in need of support from law enforcement. Knowing how often miscommunication and mistreatment can occur, Jordan helped create a special unit that serves as a crucial link between the deaf and hard-of-hearing community and the police. It is the only police department in the United States strictly devoted to the needs of the deaf and hard of hearing. Through her remarkable work over the decades, Officer Jordan is committed to making a difference.
