"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 Francis Ghanney (e-mail: Francis.Ghanney@nypd.org) and Detective Daniel McGrath (e-mail: Daniel.McGrath@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 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, delivered packages being stolen
from porches and lobbies, street safety for drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and e-bicyclists and any other issues that are of concern.
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.
