As instances of Asian hate continue to plague the city, the Asian Hate Crimes Task Force set out to put an end to these crimes.
The force was created last August with 25 detectives who speak about 12 Asian languages.
“A lot of the Asians believe it or not they’re very hesitant to report crimes and even if they report it, they don t always follow through because of the language barrier,” said Sgt. Supervisor Detective Squad Stacy Lee.
