Fifty-four police officers and 12 supervisors will be assigned to the new satellite command.

"The men and women of the 109th Precinct are excited to broaden their reach in northern Queens in support of the NYPD’s overarching public safety mission,” NYPD Interim Commissioner Thomas Donlon. “The creation of this new neighborhood satellite command will enhance our ability to serve the community and contribute to the ongoing decrease in crime
