Hi, my name is Charles, I have been in police Technology for 1 year. This glossary is for all the people that will love to learn and understand more about the police world. The topic is about policing, so all the words are chosen to represent the policing aspect. My glossary can help people to pronounce this type of word correctly because I put some audios file to help the academic people to listen to how saying a word. The glossary has exactly 20 words relying on the policing sphere. It includes pictures, definitions, audio file, a translation and also, an example in a proper sentence to know where to place it. I used the link that my teacher, Mrs. Walker gave me in class to find all of the above I said. I found a definition on the internet. Right now, after reading all that, I want you to take time to understand the word and the way we said it, like that, you would be able to become more experienced in the policing sphere.
