Welcome Captain Kristen Schafer – The 68th Precinct in Bay Ridge Has a New Captain!
In early April, the NYPD allowed the public to log into Zoom and watch the interviews for the 68th Precinct Captain position.
Two very qualified candidates interviewed for the position. I was thrilled to see a woman applying for the position.
While both candidates were excellent and very qualified, Captain Schafer’s answers were fantastic because she knows Bay Ridge. She lived in Bay Ridge and she worked in the 68th Precinct, as well as a nearby precinct as well. By the end of the interview, it was clear Captain Schafer was the person for the job!
After the interviews, the community was asked to fill out a survey. Usually I hate surveys because a lot of organizations ignore the results. But I thought, maybe they will actually listen so I filled out the survey.
This is the first time the 68th Precinct has a female commanding officer. Congratulations Captain Schafer – we are so excited and hopeful about the changes you will bring to our community.
Hopefully Captain Schafer will be able to speak about the rise of rapes in our area. Justin Brannan, Andrew Gounardes, Iwen Chu and Alexa Aviles don’t think the public should know what is going on. All have been silent, except once Justin Brannan said the rape was domestic violence. Not telling the community has made women more fearful.
