Spanish for Law Enforcement Field Guide. Spanish
is rapidly becoming an official second language in the

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.

Americans on a regular basis. The Community Spanish for Law

today, followed by hundreds of translations for the most common
words, phrases, and questions law enforcement officers use
in the field.
