Brookhaven recently swore in two new officers to the police force that was expected to be up and running this month.
Lt. Juan Grullon and Sgt. Chad Latonis will join four others recently hired to serve as command staff for the department.
Both Grullon, a former police supervisor in East Point, and Latonis, a former sheriff’s deputy in Forsyth County, are fluent in Spanish.
The city is still hiring for the 50-member department, and special consideration will be given to bilingual candidates who can work in the new city’s heavily Latino southern end.
