Volunteers with the Police Department's internal relations unit translated for officers as they met with Hispanic people last night. Officers say Hispanics are often the victims of robberies. They say the Hispanic community may be targeted by criminals because they have a hard time understanding or have little faith in the law.
Hispanic residents admit it's difficult to trust police officers.
The latest census figures show Hispanics are one of the fastest growing populations in North Carolinas. Next week, members of a Hispanic community in North Charlotte will get a chance to meet with police and bilingual volunteers.
