time. >> 80 of about 1800. it was about 5% of the police department. >> 5% in 1982. today, asian police officers make up around 18% of the force in san francisco despite accounting for dirty 4% of the population. >> not reflective upon the population that made great strides. >> according to abc [ indiscernible ] analysis of u.s. census bureau data, that trend is seen across the bay area. asian police officers are underrepresented in all 9 counties. the worst gap reported in santa clara county. asian officers only make up 10.5% of the force despite making up more than 36% of the county's population. >> all across the nation it is a problem. only 2% of law enforcement are asian. >> why do you think the numbers are the way they are? >> asian families they don't want their kids to become cops. they want their kids to be doctors, lawyers, accountants. now, tech. >> speaking from experience tom says it is crucial these

percentages improve as we see a spike in asian hate crimes here in the bay area and across the country. >> it is very important because lots of people especially in the asian chinese speaking communities it is very insular. they don't like to report crimes. >> a coalition checking violence and harassment against asian americans and pacific islanders reports receiving my that 3700 first-hand complaints and's march of last year. if you ask tom that number is far under rep order. he saw firsthand the fear among asians reluctant to report these crimes. >> poster. >> dislike the fear to recruit. it is not like it used to be. >> wants to be a police officer in today's climate? >> it is challenging to find people to apply for law enforcement in general. >> the commander oversees improvement within the san francisco police department. he has been recruiting his entire 30 year career.

even with that -- >> those are all the cops here. >> as tom would say -- >> we need more officers to reflect the population. >> there is still work to do. >> for a full look at our teams analysis had to abc7news.com/i.t. we have interactive graphs available to check the diversity of your police force in york county.york county.york. stephanie, you mentioned sonoma county has the least diverse police force across all departments. which one standout? >> we just got the records request back hours ago. after reviewing, the santa rosa police department stood out. the department has to asian officers and three black that makes up around 3% of the force. it, more than 8% of the population makes that up. to put that in perspective, white officers make up 82% of the force. that is far more than the white population in santa rosa which is roughly around 67%. that is another example of what we are seeing across the board. an asian woman is recovering from an attack bart.

it is understandable he doesn't like it. not many people expecting the warriors to knock off the lakers in l.a. when you get a kharif larry you never know. lebron and anthony davis bothered by injuries recently so the lakers haven't looked much like the defending champs from a year ago. coach frank said lebron is not at 100 right now. chris alvarez with more on this play in game a. chris? >> larry, we have seen lebron james against the warriors plenty of times back in those nba finals rents. that is when he is with the cavs. he is with the lakers. is going to be a lot of fun at staples center during the top of the hour. this is the first time they are meeting in the western conference playoffs are plan. they couldn't have done it in a better. it is a one-game playoff. both guys have great respect for each other. a few days ago lebron called steph curry the mvp of the league. steph curry appreciates that but it is time to compete. >> i am appreciative of he knows when he says something people pay attention. for him to speak on my mvp candidacy is definitely

respected. i respect him for it. i appreciate it. it is rate for the entertainment value of what we do. i kind of love the chatter because it is hilarious and it is awesome all at the same time. it will make for a good show. >> everyone counted of the warriors out. he is doing everything he could to lead the team to the position they are in now. >> larry this game tips off at the top of the hour 7:00 on espn. will have postgame coverage tonight on abc7 at 11:00. on to baseball. of all of the odds he could have got of the giant 70 best record in baseball here they are. 10 games over 500. 26 and 16 so far going for their fourth straight win tonight in cincinnati. runs really hard to come by. coming up in the fifth two-out singles to get the giants a 1-0

laid. kevin goff been really strong again. this is his 1000th career strikeout. and tonight's game he goes six scoreless innings and fans eight. bases-loaded for buster posey. he unloaded them double wall. three runs score. the giants take a 4-0 lead. that would be your final score. the giants a's and astros tonight at the coliseum. quite the celebration for the soccer team coming off of their national championship victory a couple of nights ago. coach jerry smith and the broncos dealt with some of the strictest covid protocols in the entire country and somehow someway they found a way to practice and then when big. >> this is by far the wildest craziest most unpredictable ride a team has ever had to endure. there are at least 100 completely valid reasons to bail out, give up, given. everyone would have understood. that is what most people would have done. they didn't do that.do that.do .

>> wow! what a great story. even if the worriers should lose tonight they would then play friday againstfriday againt of the memphis spurs game. that is a five-point memphis lead in the fourth quarter. we will have all of the updates and highlights tonight at 11:00. i look forward to that. >> coming up tonight on abc 7 it is season at 10:00 it is 1 million little things then stay with us for abc 7 musette you can watch all of our newscasts live and on-demand through the abc 7 bay area connected tv app. and is available for apple tv, android tv, amazon fire tv and roku. download and start streaming. that is it for this edition of the abc 7 news. thank you for joining us.
