In the very first night of operation, NYPD officers from the newly formed Neighborhood Safety Teams stopped a reputed Bloods gang member in the Bronx and recovered an illegal loaded ghost gun.
Derick Waller reports on the arrest of 30-year-old Gerald Brevard, who was taken into custody in Washington, D.C.
"These deployments are flexible and will adapt to changing conditions in the field," Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said."Our Risk Management Bureau takes a deep dive into everyone of these officers," Corey said. They will not hit the streets until completing a seven-day training course, training that will be repeated.
NYPD brass said the teams were on the ground just two hours into Monday when they came in contact with the gang member carrying the ghost gun.
