Full Time 114 Precinct NYPD Officer Assigned To Roosevelt Island - Welcome Officer Sitaras

NYPD Inspector Cirabisi and Colleague Speaking With RIRA's President and Public Safety Chair at April RIRA Meeting

Received the following report on September 28 from Roosevelt Island Residents Association President (RIRA) Matt Katz:
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. This fulfills the promise of commanding officer, Deputy Inspector, Stephen Cirabisi, to assign a full-time officer here. RIRA has extended an invitation to Officer Dino to meet the Common Council at one of our monthly meetings.
RIRA Public Safety Committee Chair Erin Feely-Nahem adds:
The RIRA Public Safety Committee had the pleasure of spending several hours with Community Officer Sitaras during our last Committee meeting. Officer Sitaras was open and interested in learning about the Roosevelt Island community. Through reflection of his 17 years of experience on the force, and because of his desire to work as the Roosevelt Island Community Officer, together we were able to discuss the needs and desires of our community. The RIRA Public Safety Committee welcomes Officer Sitaras and looks forward to working with him.

we need a full staff of NYPD officers, but this is a start. Thank you God! I know you know we need some back up for the PSD...they can only do so much, they are good, but are not NYPD and NYPD puts fear into most thugs!

I hope Officer Sitaris is better than Officer Dias.  He never looked like he enjoyed working here.  After losing Officer Fernandez, we need someone who really wants to be here.  The island only benefits from having an NYPD presence if the person assigned wants to work in this community and with our Public Safety Department.  Welcome Officer Sitaris.
