DALLAS — Dallas police Chief David Kunkle issued a public apology Friday
after learning that a rookie officer issued a ticket to a motorist because she
couldn't speak English.

"We don't have abilities to determine proficiency in any language, and we
shouldn't be doing it in the first place," Kunkle said. "I apologize to the
Spanish-speaking Hispanic community."

After a review of the records, Kunkle said about a half-dozen officers had
issued a total of 38 similar citations. He said police would recommend to the
courts that any pending cases be dismissed.
Any citations that were paid, we're going to reimburse the people who paid
the citation,"
" Kunkle added.


Bromley and his supervisors met Friday morning with police superiors. The
department has launched an internal affairs investigation.

"We're looking at dereliction of duty for the officers who wrote the citation,
and also dereliction of duty for the sergeants who reviewed each of these
citations and allowed them to go through our system," Kunkle said.


The chief met with the Mondragon family before speaking with reporters.
