North Charleston officers honored after leading the agency's first-ever Latino Police Citizens Academy
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – North Charleston Police Chief Ron Camacho honored Monday a group of Spanish-speaking officers and civilians who taught a recent Citizens' Police Academy class. The agency held its first-ever Latino Citizens' Police Academy in February. Over eight weeks, the academy offered participants an inside look at the law enforcement profession and allowed them to experience scenarios that officers encounter while performing their duties. The academy was taught in Spanish, which allowed the agency to further engage the Latino community. 'The Spanish-speaking community here in North Charleston has exploded over the last years. In order to better communicate, and in order to better engage with that community – language is a huge part of that – we have many Spanish-speaking officers, but we need more,' said Chief Camacho. The North Charleston Police Department is currently looking to hire seven officers. Chief Camacho said the most important thing the department is looking for is people with good character. Members of the North Charleston City Council recognized participants of the Latino Citizens Police Academy in April. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
