How the NYPD is cultivating more Asian American leaders. - NBCAsianAmerica
In the NYPD, Asian Americans account for one chief, one deputy chief, two inspectors, four deputy inspectors and 36 captains, the department told NBC News in an email.
“When you don’t see people like you in those positions, you kind of feel like you don’t belong there,” Loo said. Unlike some racial and ethnic groups in the NYPD, Asian Americans often join the force as first-generation police officers, said Hugh H. Mo, who was a NYPD deputy commissioner during the 1980s and is now the council’s advisory board chairman. They might lack any family legacy or an embedded police culture, and the council hopes to bridge those gaps, he said.
The idea for the group originated earlier this year at the department's Asian Pacific American Heritage Month celebration, where Mo says he saw something after the ceremony that made him do a double-take — around a half-dozen captains in uniform who were Asian American.“I walked over to them and I said, ‘Are you guys kidding me?’” he recalled. He went on to help found group this fall.
