112 Police Precinct

The 112th Precinct will be launching the NYPD’s Neighborhood Policing program next month and is holding a meeting Aug. 2 so residents can learn more about it.

The program will cut the 112th Precinct into four sectors, where two officers—called Neighborhood Coordination Officers– will be assigned specifically to each sector.

The same officers will work in the same sectors on the same shifts, increasing their familiarity with local residents and local problems.

The NCOs will familiarize themselves with the different issues within their area and will attend community meetings, visit schools and follow up on previous incidents. The concept aims to foster better bonds between officers and the community.

The 112th Precinct is holding the meeting at Queens Metropolitan High School, 91-30 Metropolitan Ave.,  and residents will get to meet the NCOs assigned to each sectors. All eight NCOs will be present.

The meeting starts at 7 pm.

The NYPD introduced the NCO program in 2015, and aims to have NCOs at every precinct by 2019.

This is whats up. A libertarian society where a neighborhood takes care of itself and is independent. Government (police is a politician’s force) can not be every where all the time. Because of this taxes should go down… if you demand it.

Can Queens’ food scene thrive with both trucks and restaurants?

In Jackson Heights at 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, Roosevelt Avenue is buzzing with energy as commuters file in and out of subway cars and onto the street and cars and trucks grapple to get down the busy road. The street is filled with rows of shops and restaurants, along with food carts, street vendors and food trucks along the avenue. The almost-but-not-quite the weekend lag leaves hungry commuters faced with another choice to make throughout their day and the array of food truck options in busy areas like Jackson Heights offers customers convenience and delicious food without breaking the bank, two features that can feel vital, particularly with rising costs of living and pressure from inflation.
