The city is seeking bilingual applicants for police officer and police reserve officer positions.

Police officers and police academy graduates who speak English and one other language--including Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Cambodian and Laotian--are encouraged to apply.

Bilingual officers are especially needed because the department has recently embraced community policing, which encourages a close partnership between the community and police in fighting crime, officials said.
