This Hispanic Heritage Month, CBS2 is highlighting a group of NYPD officers who are using music to elevate their platform and connect with those they have pledged to protect and serve. ThaliaPerezTV reports.
officers who are using music to elevate their platform and connect with those they have pledged to protect and serve."The idea was to start something that's never been done before, which is to use this as a tool to unite the people and the police. So that's how it started," Capt. Alexander Cedillo told CBS2's Thalia Perez on Tuesday.Cedillo formed the band in 2013, and when he's not busy at work at the 62nd Precinct, he's on the keyboard or singing.
Which meant 'Officer O'Hara is coming' and so evolved the Spanish street name for police officers during the 1970s. Through music, though, Capt. Cedillo says that image of police officers is changing. La Jara Band members are all volunteers and play as a community service. That means there is no money exchanged for their performances.
