The Assistant District Attorney’s staff is speaking at the 68th Precinct tonight. You can watch by clicking on the video below.
Captain Tolson gave an Officer of the Month to Officer Aziz, the fearless police officer, who ran out of the precinct when he heard gun shots at 7Eleven on April 4th. He held the perp and he was arrested.
Parents are frustrated because of the safety issues that go unchecked in Bay Ridge. One man said that he and his family have almost been hit five times by reckless drivers.

Captain Tolson talked about crime being up due this year due to people being outside, compared to last year when people were indoors for Covid. He said robberies are down 11%. Tolson forgot to tell Bay Ridge that crimes in the category of “Other Sex Crimes” are up 300% *See chart below.
Captain Tolson said the police are working on Dyker Beach Park, and dealing with reckless driving. The Captain said he gave a guy a warning about reving his engine and the guy continued to do it. Tolson ran after him and the guy drove away.
Someone asked if they should expect a response after writing to a NCO. They said they tried several times and didn’t receive any responses. The Captain said that there are 133,000 residents and it’s not always possible.
Crimestat this week:
Captain Tolson said he was talking questions from Twitter and Facebook, but he didn’t. I asked about Other Sex Crimes (see above 1 last week and 8 in the last 28 days). He didn’t take any questions from Twitter or Facebook, but the Captain kept pretending he was.
People at the meeting also felt that Captain Tolson wasn’t answering questions or taking their concerns seriously. Street safety is a real concern here, but month after month nothing is done.
