PLOD Officers - Police Link Officers for the Deaf
Avon and Somerset Police have a number of officers who are trained in the use of BSL.
These people are police officers or police staff who have volunteered to work with deaf people or people with hearing loss. They also promote understanding of deaf issues within the police. All PLODs are BSL trained and continue to get training in deaf issues.
All PLODs have contact with local deaf organisations and when shifts allow will go to meetings. PLODs cannot act as interpreters but help with victims of crime or where BSL is needed. They will also help, where possible, if communication is a problem.
When you contact us, you can ask to be connected to a PLOD officer, or you can email plod@avonandsomerset.police.uk (Please be aware that the mailbox isn’t monitored around the clock)
