Nottinghamshire police are spending more than £1,000 a day on translating for people who can't speak English.
The figures were revealed after a Freedom Of Information request.
They show that from April 2011 to April 2012, £429,350.46 was spent on translation services.
38 different languages were covered including the highest which were:
Polish £179,339.83
Romanian £35,937.75
Russian £32,240.70
Urdu £25,267.99
Lithuanian £25,381.06
The service is used for victims and suspects who cannot speak English but the force has admitted the system is not as cost-effective as it could be.
Time to force these people to speak english to save money, or better still, deport them
