Blanca Kling is the Montgomery County Police Department’s Hispanic media liaison, and a Spanish-language radio talk show host. She came to the United States from Bolivia at age 17, when her father, a general in the Bolivian army, was asked to represent Bolivia at the Inter-American Defense Board in D.C. He left shortly thereafter and Kling stayed to continue her education even though that meant she was here illegally. Nowa U.S. citizen, she uses her experience to encourage immigrants to work with the police to solve crimes.
