Bridging Language Gaps for Law Enforcement
We recently hosted our second Spanish for Law Enforcement class at the Gallatin Police Department in partnership with our sister agency, the UT Law Enforcement Innovation Center, thanks to funding from the TN Office of Criminal Justice Programs.
This intensive three-day course provided officers with essential Spanish-language skills for real-world situations, including traffic stops, arrests, domestic violence incidents, and medical emergencies. By equipping law enforcement with language skills, we’re enhancing safety, fostering community connections, and ensuring better outcomes in critical situations.
