Synopsis:

Being that the author works for the Phoenix Police Department, the majority of Spanish speakers there are from Mexico. This book was written using the author's experience in talking to Spanish speaking subjects living in or visiting Phoenix. The author is not a Spanish professor but wrote this book focusing on terminology that will be understood on the street. The book contains closed ended questions for a variety of investigations including assault/domestic violence, robbery, stolen vehicles, burglary, drug possession/sales cases, traffic stops, traffic accidents. The most important part of this book is the high risk stop/contact commands. This book is written for the officers who have little to no understanding/knowledge of the Spanish language, as well as offering information to those who do have a basic understanding/knowledge of Spanish. It is the author's desire that this book allow officers to conduct their jobs safer.

About the Author: Ms. MacConnell has been with the Phoenix Police Department since 1994. She has worked in patrol, Sex Crimes, the Academy and Drug Enforcement. As a child, she lived in Colombia, South America for two years where she learned Spanish. She continued to study Spanish in college and now, having worked as a Phoenix police officer, she continues to use Spanish regularly. This book was written because she understands that for officer safety reasons, officers need to know a minimal amount of whatever foreign language is predominant in their work area.
