Press ReleaseWorkplace Spanish(R) Releases Streamlined Spanish-Language Computer Programs for Law Enforcement Agencies and Court SystemsClick It(TM) - Law Enforcement and Click It(TM) - Court Systems help bridge Spanish-language gap in law enforcement and court settingsROSWELL, Ga., Sept. 13, 2007 -- For those serving in law enforcement or in court system administration, there's nothing more frustrating and time-consuming than running into a language barrier. When responding to an incident, a 911 call, or processing court documents and cases, knowing a few key Spanish expressions can make interactions smoother, expedite the delivery of services, and sometimes mean the difference between life and death.Further bridging the language gap between Spanish speakers and those working in law enforcement and court systems, Workplace Spanish, Inc. (http://www.WorkplaceSpanish.com) of Roswell, GA, has just released two new Click It(TM) programs: "Law Enforcement" and "Court Systems." Streamlined versions of the more-detailed learning manuals and audio CDs offered by the company, these newest Click It(TM) programs are used on a PC or network, and feature clickable audio Spanish terms, phrases, pronunciations, phonetics and practice conversations. "Our new Click It(TM) version for law enforcement was developed with the expert assistance of the City of Las Vegas Metro Police Department, which then licensed it for the agency," said Tom Sutula, president of Workplace Spanish, Inc. "In law enforcement agencies, this is an indispensable workplace learning tool. Our materials have been used by thousands of officers, a testimony to the success of our easy-to-use Spanish programs, which assist these professionals with law enforcement, citizen safety, and personal safety, as well." Click It(TM) for Court Systems is designed for court clerks, deputy clerks, administrators and court staff - those who most often interact with Spanish-speaking plaintiffs and defendants. Developed with input from court systems in the City of Alpharetta, GA, and the State of Indiana, the learning topics range from standard greetings to court-explanation procedures, answering common court questions, and explaining fines and payments. "Click It(TM) for Court Systems is based on our more extensive learning manual, which has been used by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the City of Atlanta, and many state and local courts in Indiana," Sutula said. "That training program has been such a big hit that we created an abbreviated version of it in our easy-to-use Click It(TM) format. It's applicable - and available for licensing - by any and all court systems nationwide." Detailed information on the two programs is available on Workplace Spanish's Web site through the following links: http://www.workplacespanish.com/court_systems.htm and http://www.workplacespanish.com/law_enforcement.htm.
