I had a friend, many years ago, who spoke several dialects of his native Russian. When he grew up, he joined the NYPD. It wasn't long before the department discovered his facility with these language, and he was taken out of his Academy class, set up in a surveillance van with headphones glued to his ears, translating the evil plans of no-goodniks in Little Odessa. This he did for five years, and then, in return for his services, he was awarded with a detective's gold shield. He stayed, AFAIK, in OCCB for the remainder of his career. |
