New Roosevelt Island NYPD Community Officer Meets And Greets Residents At Farmers Market This Past Weekend

Image of Roosevelt Island's NYPD Officer Sitaris At Farmers Market

Reported previously that a new NYPD officer has been assigned to Roosevelt Island:
Dino Sitaras, an NYPD officer from the 114th Pct. met with the RIRA Public Safety Committee last night to introduce himself. A native of western Queens, he is very familiar with Roosevelt Island and is looking forward to his shift here, and especially to working with Island kids....
I met Officer Sitaris this past weekend at the Roosevelt Island Farmers Market. Officer Sitaris spent several hours meeting, greeting and talking with Roosevelt Island residents. I found him to be very approachable, friendly and a good listener. During my conversation with him, he expressed a strong desire to work with the Roosevelt Island community and praised the work of the Public Safety Department.

Welcome Officer Sitaris!

He is here... Becauseeee?

Can anyone post a valid reason why PSD is being shunned and a spotlight is set on an outside officer?

I would love to compare arrest and activity statistics amongst PSD and NYPD.

Is it because of the gun? I dont know. All i know is the 100k a year spent on this officer is better off fending real criminals off the island.

I think it's great to have both a profound presence of PSD and a Community Policing Officer from the NYPD here on the Island.  We benefit from having both. 

It was nice to hear the Officer praising the work of the PSD.  They do the same for the NYPD.  Both benifit from having the other as well.

Safest "nabe" in the City!
