NATIONAL LEGAL AND POLICY FRAMEWORK CONCERNING DEFENDANTS AND PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY WITH INTELLECTUAL AND/OR PSYCHOSOCIAL DISABILITIES IN LAW AND PRACTICE 69 Letter of Rights <...> It is super formal, a formal title but the content is also in its essence formal.“88 3.2.6. SPECIALISED TRAINING OF PROFESSIONALS Given that intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities can be detected or emerge at any stage of the criminal justice process, it is essential that law enforcement officials, prosecutors, judges and probation professionals are equipped to recognise and respond to the needs of persons with disabilities. However, the data provided by the institutions show that such competences are not universally addressed. According to the Police Department, police officers and trainees of the Lithuanian Police School (LPS) participate in the following trainings: – „ Communication etiquette. People with disabilities" (The Lithuanian Association of People with Disabilities) - 278 officials and 26 LPS trainees completed the training in 2022. – „Deaf Culture and the Ordering of Translation Services" (Lithuanian Sign Language Translation Centre) - 228 officers completed the training in 2022. 88 Quote from one of the semi-structured interviews.
