New Emergency Assistance Call Box Near Roosevelt Island Subway Station

Roosevelt Island has received several new Emergency Assistance Call Boxes and placed them at various locations around the Island. Calls can be placed to NYPD or the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department. Public Safety Department Director Keith Guerra reports:

Six new call boxes were installed throughout the island. Initially, the City felt that in this new age of the cell phone, it might not be necessary to replace them, but many felt they served a useful purpose and were still needed. We benefitted from receiving six such call boxes.
