Law Enforcement Program

The key to a more appropriate law enforcement response to the nearly three million Americans who have epilepsy is training:  training in how to recognize seizures, training in the correct response to seizures in the community, and training in the unique needs of people with epilepsy who are taken into custody for any reason.  The Epilepsy Foundation, recognizing the growing need to provide information to law enforcement officers about epilepsy, has developed a police training program that is offered throughout the state of Arizona.
