The Baltimore County Police welcomed its first Asian American woman to its force this summer.
Rosa Park, 27, a Baltimore native, is of Korean descent, and says she is aware of the mistrust between Asians and the police in the community, and is dedicated to help bridging the gap.
“One of my driving forces for why I wanted to become a police officer was just to represent because I think it’s needed,” Park said to the Baltimore Sun. “There’s a strong need for an Asian face, and if I have to be that face to get other people out there, so be it.”
