The Atlanta Police Department is looking to hire Spanish speaking officers and 911 operators.

A Department press release announcing the hiring program highlights the need for a more diverse speaking law enforcement workforce, “Officers from diverse backgrounds bring an important perspective and cultural sensitivity that furthers APD’s goal to serve and protect citizens across the wide spectrum of Atlanta’s diverse population,” said Officer Gonzalez, the Department’s Hispanic liaison.

A recently created public service announcement features Spanish speaking officers and is aimed at attracting officers to meet the needs of a more diverse community.
