84th Precinct requests security cameras for Brooklyn Bridge Park
More Officers Expected to Patrol BBP This Year
Every year Brooklyn Bridge Park continues to expand and every year crowds get larger and larger. As a result, the 84th Precinct of the NYPD has to constantly adapt its techniques to police the park.
Already this year, large crowds gathered at Pier 2 have led to fights, forcing the NYPD to close that section of the park down on April 11. As a result, Capt. Roberto Melendez has requested security cameras for the park, he said at the 84th Precinct Community Council meeting at Borough Hall on Tuesday.
Capt. Melendez said that, in addition to requests for security cameras, he will also put additional officers in the park this year and will continue to assess how to properly monitor the area in the future.
