More cops may be headed to Brooklyn’s 84th Precinct
Mayor Bill de Blasio recently agreed to add 1,300 new cops to the city’s payroll – and some of them may be headed to Brooklyn’s 84th Precinct.
In a letter to Brooklyn officials, NYPD Police Commissioner William Bratton left the door wide open to adding more officers to the streets of Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO and Brooklyn Bridge Park.
While the crime rate is down in many categories under 84th Precinct Captain Sergio Centa, officials say, the area has undergone explosive growth.
