Spanish for Real Life Situations

Break the Communications Barrier

Learn Public Safety Spanish

As the Hispanic population grows experience shows that law enforcement officers, 9-1-1 dispatchers, correction officers, park rangers, firefighters and paramedics who know real life Spanish will build trust within the Hispanic community, save thousands of dollars, and allow officers to do their job without wasting valuable minutes.

Communicate in Spanish

SpanishOnPatrol teaches situational law enforcement Spanish focused on dialects from all regions south of the border.

We have teamed up with dozens of translators ensuring that our Spanish is understood by folks from Mexico, Central and South America, also addressing Spanglish (combination of Spanish and English). Traditional courses focus on one dialect from one region (usually from the teacher's home region).

    SpanishOnPatrol is a self-paced Spanish course available 24x7. You can finish the course in a few days or take the entire 6 months to complete. You have 6 months of unlimited access to all course materials. No restrictions.

I recently conducted a DUI investigation with a driver who spoke very little English. I was able to administer the field sobriety tests and ask pertinent questions by using what I've learned from SpanishOnPatrol. Just as importantly, I was able to communicate with the driver after he was taken into custody and tell him about his court appearance and other important information. Thanks for the great curriculum.

I've been studying Spanish for a while on my own. I've tried many different types of study methods. I've had the books, the tapes and tried the internet, but your class is the best I've seen. I can't say enough. The phrases are right on target for what we do on the street. You don't often find "The Alert Words" in a Spanish book. As a police officer, Spanish On Patrol is the best intro class I've been able to find.
