Amazing Jamaica has been so far behind in this. Glad to see this going through. Nice touch with the special training of the 25 officers. Kudos

That is great for Deaf Jamaicans. In the late of July 1990, I was in Jamaica for my three mission work weeks, I was at Montego Bay Airport, the security officer was so surprised to learn that I am driving in America when he requested to see my ID card. I showed him my driver's license. He asked me if I am driving and if I am deaf. I said yes twice.
