It shouldn't be on the person with a disability to teach a police officer how to deal with their disability.

They're not though? It just make it easier for the e.g. police to know that there is a disability so they can act according to it with the training they've already received.

    They literally are. If they weren't, this could have been done entirely with deescalation training.

    Because NDs respond so well to cookie-cutter training generally made for interaction with NTs...

    Knowing up front that your regular training will/might need some adaption would be a benefit.

    My point is that knowing that your training is incomplete and needs to be supplemented with compassion, patience and empathy could also be a part of training. If they have training that says "look for this card", it could just as easily be retooled to say "look for these symptoms".
