Here's one arranged by the Columbus Police Department and Cricket Communications, in which the telecommunications company donated seven cellular phones with unlimited local and long distance airtime, chargers, hands-free sets, and all cell phone features such as voicemail. <br>Police officers can keep the phones free of charge, as long as they are available 24-hours daily, seven-days-a-week for interpreting purposes. There are 10 bilingual sworn officers on the force, one of whom is proficient in seven languages. There are also bilingual support staff. <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/mld/ledgerenquirer/news/local/11046195.htm " target="blank">www.ledger-enquirer.com/mld/ledgerenquirer/news/local/11046195.htm </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
