Before a ride along, walking through the neighborhood the day before allowed the opportunity to observe things one might want to discuss with officers the next day. This NYPD recruitment poster in lower Manhattan is aimed at Chinese Americans. The neighborhood is primarily Asian, and in particular Chinese, as the traditional NYC Chinatown has now expanded its territory dramatically and taken over much of what was once Little Italy. In general, Chinese American immigrants avoid reporting crimes to the police; so this effort by NYPD to increase Chinese American representation on the force was aimed at improving police community relations.
