CHARLOTTE -- Mayor Anthony Foxx addressed jobs, small businesses and the economy during the Latin Chamber of Commerce luncheon Monday afternoon.

But questions stirred about trust and faith in the system amid recent accusations that a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer victimized Hispanics.

Former officer Marcus Jackson, 26, faces several charges of sex crimes. In many cases, the accusers were Latinos and immigrants.

“It’s just a further wedge between law enforcement and the immigrant population here in Charlotte,” said Jess George, spokesperson for the Latin American Coalition, Charlotte's oldest and largest Hispanic agency.

The Latin American Coalition is worried that the incident involving Jackson could keep Latinos and immigrants who fear being deported from speaking out.

“Most of the time they're afraid to report anything that happens,” said Cristina la Paz, of Mi Casa Su Casa.

Foxx addressed the controversy at the luncheon saying, “our interest as a community is working with each other not against each other.”

George agrees, but says a lot of work has to be done to rebuild that trust.

The Charlotte City Council is holding a closed-door session to discuss releasing Jackson's personnel file. His trial date is set for April.
