I am still trying to figure out why one particular group would feel so special that they need their own police force.
It's not a police force. It's a liaison unit. Like it or not there are lots of immigrants everywhere. Some adopt American culture, others have a harder time or choose not to. That's a debate for another thread. But the point is that a lot of them still speak only their native language, or at least that's the language they're most comfortable with. They may feel more comfortable talking with a bird of the same feather, y'know?
You can argue about the merits and demerits of it all you want but in the end, if having special liaison units helps reduce crime and increase cooperation with police, especially in their specialty areas, then I can't really complain about it.
