The Department of Public Safety is committed to providing timely, high quality and meaningful access to DPS programs and services for persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). This page will serve as a portal to promote effective communication between DPS and individuals with LEP. New resources and additional information will be posted here as they become available.
Language Access Plan
The Language Access Plan was created using the Department of Justice’s Language Access Assessment and Planning Tool for Federally Conducted and Federally Assisted Programs, and describes DPS’s strategies for ensuring language access as required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 13166, Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act and its implementing regulations (42 C.F.R. §92). Additionally, DPS is committed to providing effective communication with individuals with disabilities. Many of the guidelines and resources included in this plan can be used to ensure effective communication with individuals with disabilities.
DPS will review this plan every year and will update the strategies to further the department’s commitment to providing services and information that are accessible and culturally and linguistically appropriate.
The Language Access Plan is available for review in the following languages:
