NYPD Neighborhood Policing in Bedford–Stuyvesant's 79 Precinct

To really change the police-community relationship, the NYPD had to fundamentally change the way it does business. Neighborhood policing is that realization in action. Now, patrolling the same neighborhoods every day, cops work in tandem with residents to drive down crime—and the result is a more connected police department, an engaged public, and a safer city. Last February in Bedford–Stuyvesant, NCOs, sector cops, and 79 Precinct squad detectives worked together with the community to solve a robbery at a local business.
