Spanish is rapidly becoming an official second language in the United States. The Community Spanish for Law Enforcement Field Guide contains direct translations for the most common terms and phrases law enforcement officers may need on the street. Translations are rapidly accessible by tabs that are organized by incident and crime type.
Spanish is spoken, to one degree or another, by more than 30 million Americans. As a law enforcement professional, chances are you will need to communicate with Spanish-speaking Americans on a regular basis. The Community Spanish for Law Enforcement Field Guide is the ideal tool for officers without formal language training or as a readily accessible refresher for those who speak some Spanish.
This field guide presents the basics of Spanish grammar and pronunciation as it is spoken in Latino American communities today, followed by hundreds of translations for the most common words, phrases, and questions law enforcement officers use in the field.
Rugged, waterproof, and writable, this field guide will be an essential resource to help you overcome language barriers to perform your job safely and effectively.
