Is a day in the life of the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department anything like that of Kojak, Crocker and Stavros, characters from this great 1970's NYC police show? According to the 24 hour Public Safety Report for 2/1-2/6, Roosevelt Island had incidents of public intoxication, failure to pick up doggie doo and pushing an officer among other occurrences below. Did Kojak ever tell a perp to "Curb Your Dog"?

A permanent 24 hour Public Safety record can be found on the right column under the Roosevelt Island link page element. I removed the 2/3 -2/6 reports previously found here to the link above.
