Interactions between police and Hispanic citizens have been neglected in research on American policing. The impact of Spanish language barriers has also been neglected. This exploratory study examined the effect of language barriers on the delivery of police services through direct observation of police patrol and the police 911 communications center in a midwestern city. Language barrier problems were measured in terms of delay, frustration, and conflict in police–citizen interactions. This study found that language barriers were not a major factor in the delivery of police services. Potential language barrier incidents were relatively few in number, and involved mainly officer frustration and few conflict situations.
