LEAP is designed to foster greater understanding between people with disabilities and the police, and to enhance compliance of law enforcement agencies with the ADA and Section 504.
Membership is open to anyone interested in participating, from anywhere in the country, and will meet monthly. Meetings will be held at the CILSF office in Miami and members may also participate by phone, Twitter, Facebook, and Skype. We are particularly interested in having persons with disabilities and members of law enforcement join and share your questions and thoughts.
Meetings will be moderated by Marc Dubin, Esq., Director of Advocacy at the CILSF. Marc formerly served as a Senior Trial Attorney at the Justice Department, where he was responsible for nationwide enforcement of the ADA and Section 504 on behalf of the United States. He also served as Special Counsel at the Office on Violence Against Women at the Justice Department and as a prosecutor in New York and Florida for over a decade,
