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.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
