Tagged: bilingual, Charlotte, mecklenburg county, North Carolina, populationPosted on: September 23rd, 2007“With Mecklenburg County, N.C., continuing to see an Hispanic population growth, CMPD officers say there’s a need for even more bilingual officers.
“We do need a lot more,” said Officer Rafael Hernandez Saturday while patrolling a lowrider car show at the Metrolina Expo on Statesville Road.
Hernandez estimates there are about 30 Spanish-speaking officers on the force. He said bilingual officers are especially important at predominantly latino events like Saturday’s car show.”
