= Summary About Dep. Garcia =

Hello there, My name is '''Dep. Garcia''' (''Short for'' '''Deputy Garcia''') but my Wiki friends call me '''Garcia''' or sometimes '''Dep.''' I specialise in [[Police|law enforcement]] topics ranging from events the police have dealt with, to what they [[Police duty belt|wear whilst on duty]]. 

I am currently leader of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Law Enforcement|Law Enforcement Wikiproject]] on Wikipedia.

==Origin of my name==

'''Dep. Garcia''' was derived from [[Reno 911!]]'s show on [[Comedy Central]] after the actor [[Carlos Alazraqui]] who plays ''Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia.'' 

Since he is a law enforcement figure I decided to use his name. As I am also a [[Police officer]] but a better one than he is.

These are the facts I added to [[Template talk:Did you know]]

===Fact 1===
*...that '''[[Law enforcement in Croatia|police officers in Croatia]]''' are only allowed to use their [[Firearm|guns]] if there is a threat to their life or the lives of other people, or to prevent a crime from being committed for which the maximum [[Prison|prison sentence]] is five years or more?
