Spanish for Corrections Staff

Does anyone have any training information on Spanish for Corrections Staff? Thank you.

Hello, My name is Gaspar Mendez, I work for Ingham County Sheriff's Office in Mason Michigan. I have 17 years law enforcement experience. I have worked in Corrections and am currently assigned to our training division. I am a corrections training coordinator. I also run my own training consultant business. I teach courses on Latin Culture and Language. I speak, read and write Spanish fluently. The course is designed for Law Enforcement and Corrections personnel. I have other courses that have been endorsed by Homeland Security and MCOLES. Please feel free to contact me by email: so_mendez@ingham.org or tx. (517) 676-8355 Thanks Gaspar Mendez

There is an on-line course called Spanish on Patrol that has a correctioins module.  Also, there is a "Speedy Spanish for Corrections Personnel," published by BAJA Books, Box 4151, Santa Barbara, CA 93140.  Lastly, there are "Command Spanish"  in class for corrections also.

Thank you!

Matt-- I just returned from Scott City where I gave a 2 1/2 day course for SW Kansas law enforcement officers--and I'd love to come back for another class (especially in a little warmer weather, to enjoy Scott Lake Park). Command Spanish(r) is the oldest and most widely recognized company providing Spanish for all aspects of the criminal justice system. We have a similar course for corrections staff, based either on one of our two manuals: Survival Spanish for Correctional Staff and Survival Spanish for Jail Facilities--or we have a "combo course" where each student receives the appropriate manual but in-class instruction is based on phrases common to both areas. You can also purchase either manual for independent study at: www.commandspanish.com
