More officers requested for Brooklyn Bridge Park after shooting
Brooklyn Bridge Park suffered a well-publicized violent incident on April 15 when two shots were fired on Pier 2, and as a result, the 84th Precinct has made a request for more cops to help patrol the popular park during the summer months.
“To address the conditions of Pier 2, I will have two officers there every day from about 2 or 3 p.m. in the afternoon until the evening,” 84th Precinct Capt. Sergio Centa said at this month’s Community Council meeting in Boerum Hill Tuesday night. “Hopefully that will provide a presence for the people using Pier 2.”
Centa added that like last year, there will be additional officers assigned to the park during events such as concerts or movie nights.
