DATE: June 18, 1992
SUBJECT: Telecommunications Device for the Deaf
Effective immediately our Telecommunications Device for the Deaf
(TDD) is activated and our Communications Officers are trained in
its use, and are prepared to better serve our citizens who may be
hearing or speech impaired.
Hearing or speech impaired citizens with TDDs are now able to use
their device to dial the South Miami Police Department (663 -6316)
and communicate via TDD with one of our Communications Officers
here at the Police Department. This device is to be used to
communicate for the purposes of police, fire or medical
emergencies, routine police business, or for the Police Communica-
tions Officer to assist the hearing or speech impaired citizen in
communicating with other city departments. Example: If a hearing
impaired citizen is having a problem with their trash pick -up, has
a question concerning building permits, or has a question which
they would like to ask the City Manager, they may contact one of
those entities by calling our TDD at 663 -6316 from their TDD. The
Communications Officer would then communicate with the caller,
determine how the city may be of service, and would act as a
"middle man" in communicating between . the caller and the
appropriate city employee.
The city's telephone listing in the local directory, which is due
to come out this summer, will reflect the number for the TDD (663-
6316). Department personnel are directed to inform citizens whom
they come in contact with of the availability of the TDD, when
appropriate.

The City of South Miami must adopt and make available for public
