Five more neighborhood safety teams will be hitting the streets of New York City this week. “These teams are there for gun violence,” Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said. “They’re there for criminal activity.
And in the 47th precinct in the Bronx, police continue to look for the suspect who shot and killed a man outside a Dunkin’ Donuts on Friday. The NYPD released video of a woman who the department calls a "person of interest."The NYPD is searching for a suspect after a brutal attempted rape in Harlem that left a woman in critical condition.
So far this year, according to the most recent statistics available, shootings are up more than 10 percent. It was in 2014 when an NYPD plainclothes unit was involved in the killing of Eric Garner. The officers were from Staten Island's 120th precinct. The police killing sparked a nationwide social justice movement. Violence interrupters on Staten Island, who work to deescalate violence and promote peace in their communities, say they will be closely watching when the neighborhood safety team rolls out in the 120th precinct.
"We just want to make sure we don’t have another Eric Garner. We want to make sure that this isn’t being pre-packaged and rolled back out as the same thing under a different disguise. We are concerned, knowing what we went through years ago with stop and frisk" says Mike Perry, a violence interrupter under the True2Life Crisis Management System on Staten Island.
"We just want to make sure that it’s something that doesn’t put us in the same position that we were in 15-20 years ago," says Malcolm Penn, a violence interrupter for True2Life.The NYPD is investigating a brutal murder after finding a woman with her throat slashed inside of a NYCHA apartment in the Bronx.
