“Seven bilingual officers, with Spanish-language skills ranging from rudimentary to fluent, provide a crucial link between Decatur police and the city’s burgeoning Hispanic population.
Traffic officer Sal Jasso, a Chicago native who grew up in a Hispanic household, moved to Decatur when he was 12.
Both Ballesteros and Jasso said they use their translation skills on average two or three times daily. Hispanic victims of crime welcome their fluency in Spanish.”
