West Fargo Police Officer Ryan Feltman's office door is always open.

But the office of the city's first Cultural Liaison Officer is not located at police headquarters, instead it's just inside the West Fargo Public Library.

Feltman, who officially began his work as a cultural liaison officer in January, is working to build relationships and better understanding of cultures in West Fargo.

"It's my objective to get out in the community, learn about as many cultures as I can, to meet people and build relationships, and to break down any barriers that may be existing between any culture and any person," Feltman said. "I want to strengthen that bond and build trust between the police department and the community."
