Monitor court ordered non-consensual intercepts by listening to conversation in foreign language and

interpreting to English by extracting pertinent information.

Communicated time sensitive, pertinent and actionable info to Duty Agents for direct action in the field

which was instrumental in counter-narcotics seizures and operational success.

I also prepare synopsis in correct English grammar of each monitored call. In every single call I have to

determine whether code terms and masked info is pertinent or actionable and if given the case I have to

notify the correct government personnel and my supervisor of critical information. This decision is based

on a need to know basis.

I have to minimize personal conversations considered non pertinent.

I also have to remain at monitoring table at all times and never leave assigned line unattended. After calls

are initially processes I have to go back and work on assigned calls doing translation and transcription.

I also have to render other forms of documents such as tapes and written instructions to English and in

some cases I have to decipher different accents, dialects and dictation styles. At all times I have to render a

true and accurate translation and faithfully conserve the style, tone, language level, and intent of the

without editing, giving a true impression of the linguistic and socioeconomic level of the speaker.
