June 2, 2023Welcome 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.

June 2, 2023Thieves Stole Watch From 82-Year-Old Man in Bensonhurst on June 1st
On Thursday, June 1st right before 6:00 pm, an 82-year-old man was robbed of his Rolex watch on 17th Avenue near 86th Street in Bensonhurst. The senior was then dragged by the thieves’ vehicle, a Chevy or GMC SUV. (See videos here)
This is what was shared: “The man told his son that a woman came up to him and said that her father knew him and he wanted the man to have two gold chains and some cash. She asked him to come to her car. When he got to the car, they grabbed his arm and stole his Rolex watch. The man went to grab the woman and the thieves drove off and he fell to the ground. The father does not know a lot of English but the woman said that her Dad knew him and want to give him some items – gold chains and some cash. They asked him to follow her to the car. My dad said he followed just to give them back the stuff. When he approached the car, the lady in passenger side grabbed his left arm with the Rolex watch, while a man on the driver seat grabbed my father’s right arm. The lady slipped the watch off my father’s hand and as my father grab hold of the lady, they drove off and my dad fell face flat on the sidewalk.”
The vehicle was either a black Chevy or GMC SUV.
If you have any information please contact the 62 Precinct.
