Info on Chinese Police in Galveston County

January 13, 2012

Steve, just wanted to give you the heads up on Chinese police officers in Galveston County, Texas. If you go to The Galveston County Daily News website today, there is a front page article with a picture of a female Chinese police officer being shown how to fire a gun by a Galveston resident with a storyline. How ironic that we are teaching Chinese police how to fire our weapons and then showing them around the county. I personally witnessed Chinese police officers at the Galveston County courthouse this past summer and now they're back for more "training". I was at the Galveston County jail yesterday and saw these same police officers receiving training there as well. A prosecutor friend of mine has also told me that the District Attorney's office has also been involved in teaching these officers about our court system. I saw about 15-20 Chinese in full dress uniform and wonder how many there are total and where they are being housed. I also wonder how many are present in this country making similar "tours" of other counties.

Thanks for all your excellent work.
