Over 225 simple Spanish commands and questions for Police and Law Enforcement with written and audio translations, including full Miranda Rights in Spanish!

Perfect for Police Officers, State Troopers, Federal Law Enforcement, Sheriff Deputies, Corrections, and Security officers.

This is not a simple Spanish dictionary. Its a unique collection of straight-forward phrases designed by and for professional law enforcement.

* Phrases are short, and as simple as possible
* Audio translations are spoken slowly and are easy to understand and learn
* Full Miranda Rights spoken in Spanish.

Just use your speaker on your iPhone and let the suspect listen. No need to translate.

* For less than a cup of coffee, isnt it worth it to know at least how to say "Do you have any needles" in Spanish?

* Corrections Officer Section makes it easier for you to process Spanish-speaking prisoners
* Designed by a veteran street cop and written by his brother, an iPhone software engineer

These are Spanish commands and questions designed and used by street cops, with audio by a native Spanish speaker. The questions are specifically designed to solicit a yes or no, response so you can understand the answer. Commands are simple, and direct.

If all the Spanish you can understand that "Si" means yes and "No" means No, then this is Spanish the app for you. You will be able to give simple commands such as "Stop," "Youre under arrest", "Hands on top of your head," "Hands up," and "Your identification." Ask simple questions such as "Can I search your car?", "What is your name?", or "Can I search you?".

This is not an application to start a conversation in Spanish because, if you can not understand the answer, then why ask the question?

Start every encounter with "I dont speak Spanish... answer the questions with yes or no only." If you need something like an address, birthdate, or phone number, you will be able to tell them to write it down.

PRAISE FROM OUR USERS

"I used the HGN for the first time during a DUI investigation involving a subject that solely spoke Spanish. It was very successful." -- Matt K. Patrol Sergeant, NJ

"Fantastic! its amazing the difference knowing the right key phrases makes" -- Jim L. Detective, TX


FROM THE DESIGNER...

As a street cop assigned to a Spanish-speaking area of town, I needed to learn these phrases in order to survive and do my job. I have tried to learn Spanish in the past and I was always able to remember the questions to ask, but I couldn’t understand the answers people gave back.

I learned simple key phrases and commands I used everyday at work and on the street. Learning these key phrases is a must-have for officer safety and, with shrinking budgets at police departments, you must take it upon yourself to do it on your own.

If you ever felt frustrated on a traffic stop, domestic, or were unable to help some one who is hurt because you couldn’t communicate in Spanish as a cop or first responder, then this is a must-have app for you. Dont let a situation get out of control because you cant communicate.

Stay Safe!

Pros and cons of Spanish For Police - Audio Phrasebook app for iPhone and iPad

Spanish For Police - Audio Phrasebook app good for

Definately like how the app intergrates someone saying it as well as being able to read it... If I had a complaint it would be that it needs a bit more of the compliance instructions (put the drink down, ect.) and more on the domestics. Ive suggested this app to many of my officers and will continue to do so
Excellent teaching tool. Easy to navigate and learn. Suggestions: much louder voices, more phrases and/or commands, a way to select a few for a Favorites section with quick access. Buy this app.
Ive had 3 dwis with Spanish speaking persons and this was a major help.
Very well organized and useful. This should be in every LEOs toolbox. No concerns with pronunciation because the app recites the Spanish commands. :-)
Havent used it yet, but I look forward to doing so. Suggestion: a section for dealing with children who are lost or need help.
Not perfect but I have used it a couple times. Turns 20 minutes into 5 or 6.

Some bad moments

Bought it to learn how to say commands in Spanish. It does not have audio as described. Could have been rated much higher
Great if dont want audio ... However says audio included and it IS if YOU BUY "applications" so it costs you a lot of $$$$ to use it ! Should give us Working hard under appreciated cops a truthful app we could use only got it for audio .... However preset questions for incidents has helped in situations! Only reason for 2 stars.
This app has some great words related to law enforcement. My only issue is when I first downloaded the app the sound was working. Its only been a few days and now the sound is not working. I know its not my phone and I have sent an email to ask for some assistance. I have not heard back from anyone. The only saving grace is I only paid $2.99 for an app thats not working. Please if someone knows how to fix this problem I would appreciate it.
Ive used this app for a while, but now it freezes. It will not load past the first screen. App needs an update for iOS 7!
