Build The Block

Neighborhood Safety Meetings are essentially strategy sessions between local cops and the people they serve. They will vary broadly in size, but will always have two simple goals: identify the public safety challenges of your specific neighborhood – big or small, and discuss potential solutions.

It’s important that you locate and attend the meeting in your neighborhood! These will be discussions about specific safety and policing challenges facing your neighborhood – not the entire city. The strength of the conversation and solutions defined will depend on who attends and the collaborative ideas shared for resolution or progress on any given issue.

These meetings are merely one important step to improve trust, collaboration and safety through Neighborhood Policing. It is an effort that can only succeed with the buy-in of all New Yorkers committed to using these opportunities to champion public safety, accountability, and collaborative problem solving with the individual cops serving their community.

nice video.. i'll even admit, more police officers in my neighborhood have said hi to me and it makes me feel more comfortable. I think that can help people feel more comfortable, police saying hello and good night to more people. especially in the caribbean neighborhoods cause it's a sign of respect when you see someone.
