The goal is to create a resource between the sheriff’s office and the Hispanic community.

Brandon Ortiz says there will be Spanish speakers there to help connect with people regardless of language barriers.
“In a region where people came from strictly Spanish-speaking families that you could say would benefit from knowing that you have the ability to reach out to somebody and speak Spanish just to to get a two-way form of communication is very important,” Ortiz said. said.
It’s happening Saturday at Fred George Park from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m
