The I Speak... Language Identification Card is a tool for law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies to identify the language of individuals they encounter who do not speak English.
As the limited English proficient (LEP) population continues to increase nationwide, the number of LEP defendants, victims, and witnesses processed through the criminal justice system will also increase. This guide can help to obtain interpretive services, which is the first step in working with LEP persons. It is also intended as a resource for the criminal justice community to ensure consistent and effective interaction with LEP persons.
I Speak... was re-created and adapted as a partnership effort between DeKalb County Magistrate Court’s Compliance Project, Caminar Latino, Men Stopping Violence, Raksha, Inc, Tapestri, Inc, and Women’s Resource Center to End Domestic Violence.
