Roosevelt Island Public Safety Reports - 7/6 Thru 7/19 - Peeping Tom, Bed Bugs, Indecent Exposure, Passport Found & Public Safety Town Hall Meeting

Image of Roosevelt Island Public Safety Officers from RIOC

I recently started a new feature on the blog. Every day, I am posting the current Roosevelt Island 24 hour Public Safety Report on the inside right sidebar, just below the RIOC Directors email address. You can now read a daily log of the incidents for which the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department responded to the previous day rather than wait for the weekly or bi weekly compilation of aggregated reports, though I will continue to post the aggregate listings like those below from time to time.

RIOC is still posting the most current Daily and June 2009 Monthly Roosevelt Island Public Safety Incident reports on their web site. Also, available is a breakdown of Roosevelt Island Public Safety incidents by location and category (the Blotter) for the months of June 2009.

There will be a Public Safety Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday, July 22 8PM at the Good Shepherd Community Center. RIOC Public Safety Director Keith Guerra and Commanders from nearby Police Precincts will attend and be available to answer questions from the Roosevelt Island community.
