In this Dec. 6, 2016 photo, Abdesselam Baddaoui studies in his class at the police station, where he is one of the newest members of the department, in Manchester, N.H. Baddaoui came to the U.S. as a refugee, born in Algeria and lived in Syria and Lebanon before moving to Manchester. Manchester joins a handful of cities nationwide, mostly much larger, where police departments are specifically recruiting refugees amid a political climate in which some quarters accuse them of taking jobs or, in the case of Muslims, posing a potential security threat.
