Justin Brannan Understands What Bay Ridge Needs!
Under Neighborhood Policing, a precinct is divided into four or five sectors and sector officers work the same shifts in the same neighborhoods each day to increase familiarity and build relationships with residents. Each sector also has two neighborhood coordination officers (NCOs) who serve as liaisons between the police department and the community.” See the rest of the story here
Justin Brannan knows we need cops out on our streets and interacting with the public. Everyone loves the police officer on the horse, but we need Neighborhood Policing. Brannan is very hands-on, appreciative and respectful towards the NYPD. That’s important to a lot of people who live in Bay Ridge. See Brannan’s tweet below – notice it’s from 2014 when he wasn’t running for office.
Before I lived in Bay Ridge, I lived in another neighborhood nearby where the police are more apparent. Although I didn’t know the police officers by name, they knew me and said, “oh you live over there and you have a lot of dogs.” I asked them how they knew that and they said, “It’s out job to know whose living here. ” Their knowledge of the neighborhood kept the area safe. People always went up to them to talk with them and tell them what was going on.
