Safe Stop-Green Envelope Program
The Connecticut Police Chiefs Association, Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles and Connecticut Council on Organizations Serving the Deaf are proud to issue The Green Envelope Program for the deaf and hard of hearing drivers of Connecticut.
In Connecticut, one in five drivers is hard of hearing or deaf and this is a rapidly growing number every year. This program is designed to minimize communication obstacles for police officers who are engaged in law enforcement activities, involving the deaf and or hard of hearing motor vehicle operators. All members of the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association recognize the potential stress levels for the deaf and hard of hearing motor vehicle operators when interfaced with a public safety officer.
How it works: If a police officer stops you, keep your hands on the steering wheel. When the police officer walks up, point to your ear, shake your head “no,” and say “can’t hear.” When the officer nods, slowly get your License, Vehicle Registration and Proof of Insurance and put them in the green envelope and slowly give it to the officer.
The Green Envelope is available at the Senior Center and Police Department if you would like one.
