City of Warren, Michigan Supports eLearning Course
This program is essential to the continued training of Warren Police Department personnel to successfully interact with these communities. Warren is a community with a diverse demographic, and having our officers trained to better communicate will be a win for all involved. Global’s training is a proactive move to educate our officers and build trust within the community.
A couple of my officers had occasion to utilize the interpretation service on Friday afternoon for the first time. They said that it went very well, they were able to quickly get hold of an interpreter by phone and were able to communicate with the non-English speaking driver on a traffic stop. They said that the person they spoke to on the phone was very helpful and understood the situation. They felt it worked great.
