Liaisons Help Annapolis Hispanics See Another Side of Police – Annapolis
Tagged: Maryland, police, soccer
Rafael “Tony” Vasquez’ duties with the Annapolis Police Department include attending local soccer and fishing camps, hosting anti-gang youth meetings for teens and speaking before Neighborhood Watch and other community forums.
He’s one of two Hispanic liaisons with the department, charged with reaching out to the Spanish-speaking community and improving their relationships with the police.
Vasquez and partner Gus Caballero man a police substation, helping about 15 to 30 people a week. Many of their “customers” don’t speak English. They may be seeking help navigating police and legal systems, or mediating private disputes, or translation services.”*
