Oh, would you look at that. An uptick in Felony Assault. Finally something different, eh?

We received this tip over the weekend:
[Saturday] night at 2:30 a.m., a policeman from the 61st precinct decided to ticket cars at a decommissioned bus stop located at the intersection of Neptune Avenue and Shore Blvd. The No Standing sign is no longer up and the only parking sign has been changed to reflect alternate side for that area. There is still a bus shelter still standing – however according to Commissioner Brown of the police, there was supposed to be a suspension of ticketing at all decommissioned bus stops. Unfortunately, one of NYC’s Finest did not get the message.
Has anyone else seen officers giving tickets at decommissioned bus stops? There are a few in the area, and it’s worth watching out for. In the meantime, we’re hoping precinct officials see this and correct the mistake.

More than 300 people packed into the yard behind the 61st Precinct yesterday to celebrate the 27th National Night Out Against Crime.
Kids played on giant inflatable amusements, while their parents devoured food supplied by Cherry Hill Gourmet Market. Performers from Lezginka NYC regaled the crowd with traditional Pakistani dances, and a troupe of young Asian-Americans also put on a show. Deborah Lynn Bridges, a former Broadway performer and singer for the NY Knicks, sang the national anthem.
A mainstay of Night Out Against Crime? Awards! Officers, politicians and members of the Precinct’s Community Council exchanged plaques and certificates. Some of the politicians in attendance, who also gave speeches, were Councilman Lew Fidler, Councilman Domenic Recchia, Jr., and Assemblyman Steven Cymbrowitz.
Fidler took the opportunity to remind revelers of the event’s purpose, to show criminals that the “streets belong to us … the people” and that’s demonstrated by ”neighbors coming together and helping each other, standing together.”

Not a very good week in the 61st Precinct. Felony Assault and Burlary are both up, though there has been a decline in Grand Larceny Auto. Maybe the crooks got tired of breaking into cars and have moved up to homes?
We heard that at least three break-ins occurred on and around East 14th Street and Avenue Z recently. Where I live, we’ve installed a few extra security measures. And don’t forget the tips to protect your home that we gave you two weeks ago.
How about you? Done anything recently to safeguard your home against burglars?
