 Build the Block Meeting

Share your safety and quality-of-life concerns at the next Build the Block neighborhood safety meeting.
 
Residents and business owners in Windsor Terrace, South Slope, and Greenwood Heights will meet with the Neighborhood Coordination Officers (NCOs) of the 72nd Precinct's Sector A.
 
Meet on Thursday, March 21st, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Holy Name of Jesus Church. The Build the Block meeting times, dates, and locations sometimes change, so verify the meeting information by calling the 72nd Precinct at (718) 965-6311 and speaking to a Neighborhood Coordination Officer.
"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." 
 
Detective Daniel McGrath (e-mail: Daniel.McGrath@nypd.org) and Police Officer Francis Ghanney (e-mail: Francis.Ghanney@nypd.org) are the NCOs for Sector A, the faces of neighborhood policing.
"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."
At this Build The Block neighborhood policing and safety meetingthe 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.
