Here Are Your East Flatbush Neighborhood NYPD Officers
Community policing has come to East Flatbush and the western part of Brownsville. Here are the names of your local neighborhood cops.

EAST FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — The NYPD is expanding its community policing model, with top officials saying it will be in more than half of the department's precincts by October.
Under community policing, precincts are divided into four or five sectors, with two officers, known as Neighborhood Coordination Officers, or NCOs, assigned to each.
NCOs are tasked with knowing their area of responsibility intimately, and building relationships with locals that the NYPD says lead to better police-community relations, more tips and lower crime.
