The document details the Denver Police Department’s policy for providing language access to Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals, as required by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. It establishes roles such as an LEP Coordinator and a Language Access Committee, and outlines procedures for identifying LEP individuals and delivering language assistance through qualified personnel or interpreters. The policy mandates translation of vital documents, proper documentation, and public notice of free language services. It requires staff training, community outreach, annual feedback, and ongoing evaluation of language access efforts, with automated translation tools allowed only in emergencies and supplemented by qualified staff as soon as possible.
