Most recently, they united in a Bulgarian-American Police Association, the BNR correspondent in Chicago Elena Tsaneva reports.

The new association joins together more than 30 Bulgarians who work in the US as police officers, detectives or investigators, as the president of the association is Mario Vulkov. Police officers with Bulgarian roots are currently most numerous in Chicago, Illinois, but  some of them work also in other cities across the USA.
