The meeting was in response to a shooting that occurred at Hair World Salon, in which three women of Korean descent were shot.
said Jeanne Smith, who is of Korean descent and said the hair salon shooting left her fearful of the neighborhood that she has been involved in for 20 years. “Is there a true trend? Is this an actual issue, or is it that we’re just getting more community compliance and reporting of crime that’s occurring in those communities so we are able to better understand and identify whether this is a trend?” said Maj. Stephen Williams, who oversees the Dallas Police Department’s Intelligence Division.
“Obviously, when you’re looking at the numbers, they’re showing that there is an increase, but you have to go back and look,” Lowman said. “Is this because of a better relationship with this community, or is this an issue that we had before? It’s a matter of looking at the numbers and data and also factoring in what the community tells you.
Dallas police’s outreach has helped the Koreatown community better understand the importance of reporting incidents and law enforcement’s role in neighborhood safety, Kim said. Still, she said it is also important to recognize a pattern exists.
