Communication is key in law enforcement, and TLC is proud to help bridge the language gap. 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. Through hands-on activities and group collaboration, participants gained practical tools to improve communication and build trust within Spanish-speaking communities. By equipping law enforcement with language skills, we��re enhancing safety, fostering community connections, and ensuring better outcomes in critical situations. Officers from agencies across Middle Tennessee took part, including the Clarksville Police Department, Sumner County Sheriff��s Office, Germantown Police Department, Lebanon Police Department, Tennessee State Parks, Metro Nashville Airport Authority, Shelbyville Police Department, Metro Nashville Police Department, and our hosts at Gallatin Police Department.
