The need for such outreach programs is becoming increasingly important. The Hispanic /Latino community is rapidly growing and will soon become the largest racial or ethnic minority group in the country. Because of issues related to language, cultural heritage, immigration status, and economic status, the potential for police-Latino community problems is great. Outreach programs are designed to address these issues. This report describes selected outreach programs. It is not intended to be a comprehensive survey, and there are undoubtedly many programs that are not included here. We have selected those programs that represent different approaches to the organization and delivery of outreach. The purpose of the report is three-fold. First, it describes the different kinds of outreach programs that currently exist. Second, it discusses the major issues that need to be considered in establishing and maintaining a successful police-Latino community outreach program. Third, it is hoped that this information will assist other communities in establishing their own outreach programs.
