One officer &#8211; Jim Montero &#8211; has a vision to form a unit uniquely designed to solve them. In 1979, Montero and five bilingual Mexican American department rookies were given just 90 days to solve all open Latin murder cases, regain the trust of the community, and assist in any new crimes involving Spanish-speaking people.<\/p>\n<p>With no prior homicide experience, unchecked racism and discrimination at all levels of the department, a corrupt police union, the highest crime rate in the country, and an immigrant community that is distrustful of the police, this first-of-its-kind unit of crime fighters lacked experience in homicide investigation and were forced to learn on the job. After 90 days, The Chicano Squad members ultimately proved they belonged and successfully cleared 80% of their cases. What started as an experiment became a permanent and crucial part of Houston Police Department.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The Chicano Squad&#8221;<\/em> will be available on demand and to stream the next day on the A&amp;E app, AETV.com, and across major TV providers&#8217; VOD platforms.
