Hispanic Community Outreach
Unidos is an Hispanic community outreach program designed to
provide assistance to Spanish-speaking residents in Arlington.
Unidos Meetings are held every quarter and conducted entirely in
Spanish. Topics for discussion are driven by the community, based
on needs and interests.
Unidos
Unidos is hosted by the Arlington
Police Department with additional
support from City of Arlington
departments. We believe in two-
way communication and the promo-
tion of trust between the police and
the community we serve.
What can you expect at a Unidos
Meeting?
Meetings feature speakers and
topics that are not necessarily
police related. Subjects of interest
can vary with relevance to the His-
panic community. Meetings focus
on improving the quality of life for
Spanish-speaking residents and
families. Unidos acts as a resource
information center. Spanish
speaking officers are also available
to meet one-on-one with resi-
dents to help them find answers to
questions or solutions to individual
needs. Unidos involves the par-
ticipation of Hispanic community
leaders, bilingual employees from
other City of Arlington departments,
and Spanish-speaking profession-
als from across the community.
