Tagged: Baltimore, children, Maryland, police, Puerto RicanPosted on: June 4th, 2007“They left behind their homes near the beach. Their young children. The ease of speaking in the language of their homeland. Twenty-three men and women left behind their lives in Puerto Rico for the chance to work as police officers in a city many had never heard of – Baltimore.
Yesterday, a class of graduates of the citys police academy – the first with a large group of Puerto Ricans since the department led a recruitment effort on the island last year – received their diplomas in a ceremony that not only acknowledged their service, but celebrated their diversity.”
