DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE COMPLIANCE REVIEW The Department is authorized under 28 C.F.R., Part 35, Subpart F to investigate the allegations of the complaints in this matter and to determine the LCSO's compliance with Title II of the ADA and the Title II implementing regulations at 28 C.F.R. Part 35. The Department received a complaint against LCSO from TS. TS is deaf, and alleged that LCSO failed to effectively communicate with her during her three-night incarceration at LCSO from March 6 to March 9, 2015, including during her initial booking, interactions with medical staff, and internal disciplinary proceedings. LCSO denies the allegations. The Department elected to open a compliance review of LCSO's effective communication policies, practices, and procedures with respect to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. The ADA applies to the LCSO because it is a "public entity" pursuant to Title ▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ("▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇"), ▇▇ ▇.▇.▇. § ▇▇▇▇▇. Title II prohibits discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities on the basis of disability in the "services, programs, or activities of a public entity." 42 U.S.C. § 12132. The Department deemed it appropriate to attempt informal resolution of this compliance review, and LCSO agreed to voluntarily engage in informal resolution in response to the Department's compliance review, which has resulted in this Agreement. See 28 C.F.R. § 35.172(c). In consideration of the terms of this Agreement, the Department agrees to refrain from filing a civil suit for injunctive relief regarding its compliance review, except as provided in the paragraph entitled "Notification of Noncompliance and Enforcement" below.
