CBS2's Alecia Reid was at a ceremony Tuesday night that honored members of New York's Finest for the exemplary work they do on a daily basis."We're now representing more of the city and the diversity of the city," said Capt. Ronald Perez, the executive officer of the 120th Precinct on Staten Island.A long way is an understatement. In 1950, only 100 officers identified as Hispanic. In 2022, more than 14,000 are celebrating their heritage.
"From auxiliary to cadets and everything, it's like, wow, we just celebrated with the NYPD that we're Hispanic," said Officer Jennifer Duran of the Central Park Precinct.One of those being celebrated on Tuesday was Hansel Duran, a 15-year veteran of the NYPD. The 39-year-old has been promoted a number of times and is now captain of the Aviation Unit, something that says is a dream come true.
"If you work hard and seek opportunities, it's going to be hard, but anyone can accomplish that," Hansel Duran said. Everyone in attendance walked out with a sense of pride. The number of Hispanic employees continues to grow. CBS2 has learned that in the last five years, Dominican-born recruits represent the largest number of new hires.
