This program is designed to train non-Spanish-speaking 9-1-1 staff (call takers, telecommunicators, dispatchers) in functional Spanish language skills to obtain callers' addresses and telephone numbers; determine the nature and immediate needs of Spanish-speaking callers; handle most Spanish-language calls both professionally and effectively, reducing the reliance on interpreter services; and minimize the number of calls from Spanish-speakers which are dispatched as "Nature Unknown". This course is instructed by Command Spanish, under the direction of Dr. Sam L. Slick.

Dr. Sam L. Slick is a professor of Spanish and former Chairman of the Department of Foreign Languages at the University of Southern Mississippi. He holds a Ph.D. in Spanish from the University of Iowa. Dr. Slick has logged hundreds of hours riding with police officers, as well as completing line tours with such diverse groups as the U.S. Border Patrol and the "Chicano Squad" of the Houston P.D. Dr. Slick has taught survival Spanish across the United States, including dozens of Police Academies, D.E.A, U.S. Customs and U.S. Special Forces. Dr. Slick is a member of the American Correctional Association and the Southern States Correctional Association.
