[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1560934, member: 12952"] Now this is disturbing . [URL]http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/03/21/immigrant-police-officers/70236828/[/URL] Law enforcement agencies struggling to fill their ranks or connect with their increasingly diverse populations are turning to immigrants to fill the gap. "We're handing over a gun and a badge to somebody whose background we don't really know a lot about,". .................................................... 30 years ago several Mass towns needed Spanish speaking officers . They ended up hiring people from Roxbury & Dorchester sections of Boston . These newly hired officers received all the necessary background checks & State Police training required by law . Things were working out well , the depts. had their translators & the translators had a career . But some had two careers . Some encouraged their criminal pals from the old neighborhoods to set up shop in their new towns . Drugs related crimes increased . Community trusted decreased because if a Spanish speaking person wanted to report a crime they had to be translated by the crooked officer . It took a while for the situation to be corrected ; some were just too greedy being seen with known criminals , some were as bold as seen driving the drug lord's own cars around and others were caught thru police sting operations .
