Pretty much my thoughts, say I'm at Albertsons and it pops off for the Starbucks 50 ft away across the parking lot, I might find myself moseying on over, or even this morning one of the 2 church's next to our block or the brake shop on the corner, even if I was still in my company t-shirt on my way home from work I'd be hard pressed to show up to a private residence off duty uninvited...

Yeah - public place nearby is fair game. Residences are too risky!

I listen to a lot of Vicente Fernandez and other ranchera or norteno stuff. You mentioned Pandora, people freak when my Pandora jumps from Vicente, Emilio, Los Fugitivos to Sabaton or Black Sabbath.

You're hardcore, man. ¿Don Chente? He had a restaurant chain when I last worked in, and around the areas I grew up in in Los Angeles.
 
I learned to speak Spanish by listening to his music. Had the Border Patrol course, but that wasn't enough to actually converse. I was blessed with a partner, on midnights, who I could ask what Vicente was singing about. he also didn't laugh at my gringo butt when I would try to speak it.

Never occurred to me that it would have uses outside of LEO work, but here I be, still on the border and speaking Spanish with 99% of the patients.

Thats all i know.
 
Hola, que tal?
Donde se duele?
Cuantos cervezas?
Toma drogas/medicaciones?
A que hospital quiere ir?

I should probably work towards retaining more Spanish.

This strikes me as the major issue with PulsePoint...
I mean, if I'm in the same supermarket, or, heck, a block away, I'd mosey over. But somebody's house? Not likely.

Ours only alerts on arrests in public places. I don't believe it will give an alert on arrests in private residences unless there's a setting on the back end that the department can choose.

Should alert at SNFs, citizens can provide better care than the staff at some of them...

Depends on your context? "¡Oyga, ya los vamos con nosotros!*" is what I like to tell our family riders. Like I said, I'm semi-fluent, my wife's spanish buries mine in the dirt.

*my spelling is even worse than my spanglish.

Literally yes, but more commonly used as a somewhat term of endearment, (for lack of a better term, right now.) Used among friends. That is the barrio side of my education as opposed to the more formal Usted form of speaking.

edit: Hadn't read Vent Monkey's post yet when I answered.
