Solving cases for the FBI requires a lot of skills, but a special agent in the Bay Area never thought being Latina would be one of them. 

Solving cases for the FBI requires a lot of skills, but a special agent in the Bay Area never thought being Latina would be one of them. “I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico,” said FBI Special Agent Kathia Colon.

After what she describes as a lengthy process, in 2006, special agent Colon moved to the Bay Area, cracking scams targeting the Latino community. The special agent said being Latina and bilingual have also played a big role when recruiting informants to solve multiple cases across the Bay Area. The agent said the bureau’s been able to intercept attempts to sell stolen electronics, thanks to her success building sources within the hispanic community in the Mission District.
