66th Precinct, Sector D
Build the Block Meeting
Wednesday, March 13th
6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The
police officers who patrol Kensington will hold their next Build the Block meeting on Wednesday, March 13th, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., to
address the safety concerns of neighborhood residents.
Kensington residents will meet with the Neighborhood Coordination Officers of the 66th Precinct's
Sector D (Kensington) at Christ Apostolic Church (instead of at The Kensington Family Shelter, as originally scheduled).
From time to time, the Build the Block meeting times, dates, and locations change. Call the 66th Precinct at (718) 851-5611 and speak to a Neighborhood Coordination
Officer to verify that the meeting information is correct.
"These
"Build the Block" neighborhood safety meetings are strategy sessions
between local police officers and the people they serve. The meetings
have two simple goals: identify the public safety challenges of a
specific neighborhood and discuss potential solutions."
The Neighborhood Coordination Officers for Sector D are PO Jennifer Desanto (JENNIFER.DESANTO@nypd.org) and PO Mostafa Mahmoud (MOSTAFA.MAHMOUD@nypd.org).
PO Desanto started her service with the NYPD in January 2016 and has been at the 66th Precinct since February 2017.
PO Mahmoud started his service with the NYPD in April 2019 and has been at the 66th Precinct since September 2021. He previously served at the 60th Precinct.
"Neighborhood
Policing is "a comprehensive crime-fighting strategy built on improved
communication and collaboration between local police officers and
community residents. Neighborhood Policing greatly increases
connectivity and engagement with the community without diminishing, and,
in fact, improving the NYPD's crime-fighting capabilities.
The
same officers work in the same neighborhoods on the same shifts,
increasing their familiarity with local residents and local problems."
To find out when Build the Block meetings are scheduled, go to https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/bureaus/patrol/find-your-meeting.page and
enter your street address.
At this Build The Block neighborhood policing and safety meeting, the
officers will update residents about neighborhood public safety issues.
They'll answer your questions and listen to your concerns about
assaults and robberies on the street, home burglaries, packages stolen
from porches and lobbies, street safety for drivers, pedestrians, and
bicyclists, and any other issues that are on your mind.
NYPD precincts are divided into sectors as part of the policing model known as "community policing." The same
officers work in the same neighborhoods on the same shifts. The radio
dispatchers, supervisors, and sector officers work together. Sector
officers and sector cars stay within the boundaries of their assigned
sectors, except in precinct-wide emergencies.
The boundaries of Sector D
are Fort Hamilton Parkway and Caton Avenue to the north, Coney Island Avenue to the east, 18th Avenue and Avenue F to the south, and McDonald Avenue and 37th Street to the west.
