    Accessibility Statement

    The Florida Law Enforcement Liaison Program is a grant-funded program through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and operates under the Institute of Police Technology and Management (IPTM) at the University of North Florida (UNF).

    The Florida Law Enforcement Liaison Program is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards.

    The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs conducted by Federal agencies, in programs receiving Federal financial assistance, in Federal employment, and in the employment practices of Federal contractors.

    Section 504 states that "no qualified individual with a disability in the United States shall be excluded from, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination under" any program or activity that either receives Federal financial assistance or is conducted by any Executive agency.

    Section 508 establishes requirements for electronic and information technology developed, maintained, procured, or used by the Federal government. Section 508 requires Federal electronic and information technology to be accessible to people with disabilities, including employees and members of the public.

    In December 2000, the Federal Access Board issued final standards for electronic and information technology under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. These were adopted and published in the Federal Register in April 2001, with enforcement beginning June 21, 2001.

    While these standards currently apply to the federal government, it is the responsibility of Florida state government agencies, as well as their web designers and developers, to become familiar with these accessibility guidelines and apply these principles when designing and creating any official State of Florida website.

    All Florida State Government websites must comply with Section 508 to ensure the widest possible audience has easy access to government information. These standards are based on access guidelines developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

    For more information relating to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act, visit the United States Access Board website section for Information and Communication Technology.
