According to a June 10 report submitted to the RI 311 See Click Fix System:

I have noticed an increasing number of baggies near the 40 River Road bus stop and in the park circled by River Road. Please increase patrols to discourage drug use in this are.

The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) responded to the report:

Issue Closed

Public Safety will increase patrol of the area in question, as they are aware of the situation.

Yesterday, I sent the following message to RIOC Public Safety Department Director Keith Guerra:

The 6/12 - 13 Public Safety report indicated:

Can you provide any additional information regarding this incident? How old was the child, where did this occur, when and any other relevant context. There is no need for any names of those involved.
