The NYPD officers serving your community invite you to a discussion of the public safety challenges in our neighborhood.

With neighborhood policing, the Neighborhood Coordination Officers (NCOs), and the Steady Sector Officers who work with them, have
been given more time and opportunity to collaborate with residents in identifying and solving local quality of life conditions and crime
conserns. The same officers are assigned to our community each day, so these officers learn the neighborhood, its challenges and
potential, and the people who call it home.

This is new way of doing business for the NYPD, and we need your help to make it work. We want to hear from a broad range of voices
about what it will take to make all the residents of our neighborhood feel safe and secure. Please join us for what we hope will be a lively
and productive discussion.
