My name is Jeremy Bisson, and I am a Police Technology student. I have been studying in this program since 2018. This glossary is address for other students from Police Technology or even police officers that try to improve their English knowledge about their work.
It can help, you readers, to have better communications and interventions in real case where the person who you try to deal with don't speak French or not enough to understand what you are trying to do. In this glossary, you will find 15 terms that you
frequently use in your work and are more complex, or not, that you thought. I have found all these terms on google and translate them on google translate. I have tried to put pictures to help you understand each term. I want you to read and practice all the term pronunciations and try to figure a verbal intervention where you will use the term and make it all in English.
