Ok. Anybody else thinks that it is about time that we get the NYPD on this island?
NYPD is already on this island. Roosevelt Island is a sector in the 114th Precinct. There is a Community Policing Officer stationed here. A sector car passes through on routine patrol. The issue is that this is the lowest crime rated sector in the entire precinct, and Astoria Queens is pretty low to begin with. We are lucky to have our own Law Enforcement Agency here to respond until NYPD arrives.
Or you can just treat PSD like real cops and have them go through the process of becoming full authority police officers.
They don't pass the tests, they lose their jobs. Enough said on that.
