Quaglione starts petition for more cops at local precincts
Southwest Brooklyn communities like Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst are relatively safe from violent crime, but if they are to remain that way, the city should put more cops on local streets, a City Council candidate said.
Republican John Quaglione, who is running for the seat in the 43rd Council District (Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) has organized an online petition drive at change.org aimed at convincing Mayor Bill de Blasio to assign additional cops to the 68th and 62nd precincts.
The 68th Precinct covers Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights. The 62nd Precinct protects the residents of Bensonhurst and Bath Beach.
