The 68th & 62nd Precincts Fail to Communicate
1) On February 15th, the NYPD released these pictures and story about an incident that happened in Bay Ridge OVER THREE MONTHS AGO – This man groped at a woman on November 5, 2017.
The NY Post published the story. Local politicians shared the story on 2/15/18 as if it happened yesterday. No one said, “WOW 68th Precinct this happened several months ago. Why did we wait so long?”
2) A Bay Ridge man sexually allegedly assaulted 12-year-old twin girls repeatedly on the B1 bus from September to November. On January 31, 2018, the police shared the information and on February 2, 2018, the man was arrested.
Why didn’t the 62nd Precinct share this right away with communities? The NYPD knew which bus it happened on and should have alerted parents. Parents have the right to know and should decide if they want their child to be on the B1 bus.
3) On February 7, 2018, this poster was released for an incident that happened on January 12, 2018 at 7423 Ridge Blvd. in Bay Ridge. The man is suspected of displaying a knife while he delivered food.
4) This one was released on February 12th for a January 12th incident. The men in the picture pretended they were electrical company workers and went into 8201 – 19th Avenue. Then they robbed the senior citizen who lived there.
STRANGELY WHEN A CRIME IS A LOT LESS SEVERE, THE NYPD RUSHES TO RELEASE IT! Such as this one:
On January 29th, the 68th Precinct released this poster of a man who stole cough and cold medicine on January 23rd from Duane Reade Drugstore at 436 – 86th Street in Bay Ridge.
Here’s another one that was shared RIGHT AWAY on February 12th for a February 11th robbery of scratch off lottery tickets from 310 – 86th Street.
We understand that the precinct is busy and cases need to be investigated (like this) before any information can be released. But in situations where suspected criminals have more protection from the police than the community does in protecting children, this is a problem! Information about perverts and criminals entering people’s homes needs to be released right away,
Please do not tell us there is a shortage of officers because the 68th Precinct has a lot of staff working in the precinct offices and anyone can write up one of these posters.
Please don’t tell us that the NYPD wants help with these old cases either. If they wanted help, they would have released the information in a timely way.
There must be a legal aspect that the precinct is required to fulfill in informing the public about so many cases each year. Newspapers print the outdated stories from the NYPD because there is no news to print and it’s alsp easy to write up a story from a crime report.
But why are politicians sharing these stories and making them look current when they have happened several weeks or months ago? That isn’t okay. Politicians should be asking the NYPD for better communication and timely releases of information.
The 62nd and 68th Precincts need to better manage their social media accounts. Their social media accounts are filled with pictures of drug pickups or well wishes to other precincts where there was crime committed – even out of state.
If you read all the way down here, you are interested in crime in Bay Ridge. Did you know that NYPD Detectives from another precinct came to Bay Ridge and allegedly raped or has sex with an 18 year old woman while they were on the job? Why did NYPD officers choose Bay Ridge? Because they knew they could scam here. Story here
