Title: Bridging the Language Divide: Promising Practices for Law Enforcement

Summary: "This report presents a compendium of promising practices in overcoming language barriers in law enforcement agencies. Using phone interviews and site visits, they narrowed the search to practices at six agencies. The agencies vary in personnel size, local circumstances, and populations served. The solutions they developed range from sending officers to Mexico as part of a language learning program to using civilian volunteers as interpreters. As law enforcement agencies face challenges in serving non-English speaking communities, they can look to the agencies profiled here for examples of programs that successfully cross the language divide."
