Sandra,
in Connecticut too the ACOs are police officers, and that was part of the problem. Somebody without any training using the power of a police uniform to intimidate Max's family instead of trying to help them.
I sent another e-mail to my representative thanking him for his response and also to let him know that the requirements for certification already are in place in Mass. and many other states. That should put our legislators to shame.
I'll let you know how things develop. Remember, this is "The Land of Steady Habits," nothing is ever accomplished very fast...
