NYPD Unveils Newest Precinct In Queens

QUEENS, NY — The NYPD and Mayor Eric Adams unveiled a new precinct in Southeast Queens Wednesday.

The 116th Precinct, located at 244-04 North Conduit Avenue, is the newest precinct established by the city since 2013.

The new precinct will serve the neighborhoods of Rosedale, Brookville, Laurelton, and Springfield Gardens. Prior to that, they were served by the 105th and 113th precincts.

The new precinct will reduce NYPD response times to emergencies and other calls for service, increase visibility of police officers throughout Southeast Queens, and deepen relationships between the NYPD and the community, according to Adams.

"[ This] is the culmination of years of advocacy by Southeast Queens residents, business owners, and commuters. And it's a fulfillment of a promise this city made to improve service, increase public safety, and enhance everyone's quality of life here," NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said.

The 116th Precinct —costing nearly $105 million — will be the second precinct to ever house a community event space in an NYPD facility.
