A Message From The Commanding Officer…..
Peace and greetings from the men and women of the 77th
Precinct. I would like to thank everyone who continually support the
efforts and excellence of the 77th Precinct, and pledge a sincere
commitment to nurture and forge the successful partnership between the 77th Precinct and the dynamic Crown Heights community
it proudly serves. It is through that viable partnership we become
empowered to effectively address crime, traffic and quality of life
concerns.

Meeting– Place:
From 05/26/2014 through 06/22/2014, the 77th Precinct
has experienced a severe spike in gun involved violence; during that
period there have been nine (9) shooting incidents that have claimed
12 victims, including two (2) homicides. In contrast to 2013, those
numbers represent a 125% increase (9 versus 4) in incidents, and a
200% increase (12 versus 4) in victims. The aforementioned incidents
are being investigated by the 77th Precinct Detective Squad, but remain open( not closed by arrest). Although additional police and investigative resources have been deployed to effectively address the
gun violence, I am urging the 77th Precinct’s greatest resource , the
community, to partner with the police and assist us in stopping this
senseless violence. ―See something, say something!‖ pertains to the
neighborhood terrorism in which 12 people have been shot within
Crown Heights in a 28 day period. Any information regarding violent
crime can be anonymously communicated through Crime Stoppers
(1-800-577-8477), information regarding illegal firearms can be
anonymously communicated through Gun-Stop (1-866-486-7867).
Enjoy the summer in good health, happiness and safety. With respect,
sincerity, and humbleness.
