Meghan Fail was named ADA Coordinator for the agency that certifies Georgia’s police. In writing, she said she had “never received training.” Georgia POST still names her today.
The short answer
On July 15, 2026, Meghan Fail, ADA Coordinator for Georgia POST, the state agency that certifies Georgia’s peace officers, wrote to the State ADA Coordinator’s Office: “I have never received training or gained any real knowledge of ADA.” Georgia POST put its ADA grievance procedure online on August 7, 2026, 106 days after my written request. As of October 23, 2026, it still names her as its ADA Coordinator.

What happened
I am a disabled dad. I like dogs, donuts and dad jokes. I also like an ADA coordinator who knows what the ADA is.
On April 23, 2026, I asked Georgia POST in writing for a way to file that worked with my disability. Georgia POST certifies and disciplines every peace officer in the state. Its own site says “over 40,000 officers” at “over 900 agencies.” This is not a small rulebook.
On July 15, 2026, at 11:48 AM, POST’s ADA Coordinator wrote to the State ADA Coordinator’s Office. In her own words:
“I am the ADA coordinator for POST. Honestly, I was asked to take on this role primarily to protect our employees, given that we are a small agency. Also, I was under the impression that because we are so small, I would not have to deal with public issues. I have never received training or gained any real knowledge of ADA.”
Credit where it is due: she asked the State for help, and she told the truth. The problem is not her honesty. The problem is the agency that named her and never trained her.
On July 27, 2026, the State’s ADA office wrote back with a plan. It told her: “it appears that you accepted a role as your entity’s Title I (Employment) ADA Coordinator and that this role now includes Title II (State and Local Governments) ADA Coordinator duties.” Item 3 of the plan: “Start reviewing the ADA requirements for State Government entities, especially the requirements for an ADA Public Notice and ADA Grievance Procedure.”
On August 6, 2026, the State asked POST who handles ADA. She forwarded it to Executive Director Chris Harvey: “See below. I am not sure how to respond to this.”
On August 7, 2026, POST’s ADA notice and grievance procedure appeared on its website, 106 days after my written request.
Today, October 23, 2026, POST’s ADA page still tells the public to send complaints to “Meghan Fail ADA Coordinator, Georgia POST.”
Named is not trained. Georgia POST can put a name on a page. It has not shown me a trained person behind it.
Is this how they would treat their own mother if she were disabled and needed to file?

What I allege
- I allege that on April 23, 2026, I asked Georgia POST in writing for an ADA route.
- I allege that on July 15, 2026, Georgia POST’s ADA Coordinator wrote that she had “never received training or gained any real knowledge of ADA.”
- On the face of the document, she took the role “primarily to protect our employees” and expected she “would not have to deal with public issues.”
- I allege that Georgia POST posted its ADA notice and grievance procedure on August 7, 2026, 106 days after my request and one day after the State asked who handles ADA.
- I allege that as of October 23, 2026, Georgia POST still names her as its ADA Coordinator.
- That is hard to square with an agency that certifies more than 40,000 officers and holds them to written standards.
- It appears to me that Georgia POST treated the ADA coordinator job as a name on a form, not a trained person at a desk. If that is not the reason, they are welcome to tell me what is.
- I am left to wonder whether anyone at Georgia POST has trained her since July 15.
Why I keep going
“We had one” is not the same as “we have a trained one.” Every office in this record can put a name on a page. Not one has shown me the training behind it.
So what about Georgia? What about Georgia, yeah?
Is this how they would treat a friend from church if he were disabled?
