Family Intervention Specialist reaches out to Hispanic community

Family Intervention Specialist Iris Franklin is assigned to the First Precinct. Franklin helps promote strong family values within the community.

In January, she presented to a group of Hispanic parents. One of the topics covered was mutual respect guidelines between citizens and police officers. She

also provided parenting tips, addressed common child behavioral problems, and explained the consequences of not sending kids to school.

After the presentation, Franklin met one-on-one with several of the parents to assist them with finding solutions to some of their family issues.
