DESCRIPTION:About the 2025 Masterclass\n\nInterpreting in Law Enforcement Settings with Dr. Debra Russell\nThis Masterclass will centre on best practices for interpreters working with law enforcement agencies, with a particular focus on interpreting for the police.\nIt is designed to teach interpreters the practical skills and knowledge required to work effectively in police settings while understanding the Canadian legal context.\nWorkshop Overview\nThis specialized Masterclass is designed for interpreters working in legal, court and community settings who want to deepen their skills in law enforcement interpreting. With a focus on real-world application, participants will engage in hands-on activities using police transcripts and case studies.\nLed by Dr. Debra Russell, this interactive session includes role-play exercises that will challenge and refine participants’ ability to accurately interpret complex, emotionally charged, and sensitive communications between civilians and law enforcement personnel. Ethical dilemmas, professional boundaries, and the consequences of interpreter errors will also be explored, equipping interpreters with practical strategies to manage dynamic situations.\nParticipants will leave the workshop with a greater understanding of the protocols, expectations, and pressures unique to interpreting in policing contexts—and the confidence to perform their roles with accuracy and professionalism.\nParticipants will learn to:\n\nBe better prepared to handle the demands of interpreting in law enforcement settings.\nCommunicate effectively with police personnel and navigate law enforcement structures.\nAddress ethical dilemmas with clarity and confidence.\nApply interpreting strategies that uphold standards in legal contexts.\nUnderstand the real-world consequences of interpreter errors—and how to avoid them.\nReflect on personal positioning and neutrality in adversarial or emotionally intense environments.\n\nPricing\nTIL Members: $25 + GST\nNon-members: $85 + GST\nPDU’s/ CEU’s: 3 (CTTIC & Partners)\n\n
