The Roosevelt Island we had 5-10 years ago is no longer here. It's now a not so safe place anymore. I guess that's my message to others.

On March 14, 2014, NYPD 114th Precinct Commander Deputy Inspector Kevin Maloney and Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Public Safety Director Jack McManus spoke to a Roosevelt Island Residents Association (RIRA) Public Safety Committee meeting about local crime and public safety issues. Here's what they had to say.



A post last week asked is there more Roosevelt Island crime or just more public reporting of incidents?
