Description

Learning Spanish for Law Enforcement and Police Spanish means more than just learning to speak Spanish. It also means understanding Latin American culture. This is an important part of creating a successful and productive police force in today's society. Police must learn to read between the lines, understand the nuances of high-stress communication, and learn how to diffuse situations with competent and culturally sensitive Spanish language skills.

Oaxaca is an excellent example of a traditional Mexican city with a cosmopolitan feel. Locals are welcoming and interaction is high, making it easy to get to know the Mexican accent, commonly heard for North American police forces. AmeriSpan's Spanish for Law Enforcement (Police Spanish) program can teach participants how to respond to the situations they encounter on job through a combination of group and private classes. Participants will learn the relevant vocabulary and common expressions that they may use on a day-to-day basis or is specific situations at work.
