NYPD NCO PROGRAM EXPANDING TO TRANSIT

Praise to Mayor de Blasio and the NYPD for announcing this week its expansion of the Neighborhood Coordination Officer program from local precincts to subway stations covered by Transit District 12 in the east Bronx, as well as a transit district in Brooklyn. Having them on patrol in our subway stations means someone you know will be making sure your commute is safe and sound.” The theft of cel phones, laptops and exposed jewelry has been a leading cause of high grand larceny numbers in the subway system. Outreach by Transit police to educate riders makes total sense to drive those numbers down. And I am especially glad the program is being initiated in Transit District 12, which covers several neighborhoods in my Assembly district. Transit District 12 covers the following lines and stations: No. 2 and 5 lines: 3rd Avenue-149th Street, Jackson Avenue, Prospect Avenue, Intervale Avenue, Simpson Street, Freeman Street, 174th Street, West Farms Square-East Tremont Avenue, East 180th Street, Bronx Park East, Pelham Parkway, Allerton Avenue, Burke Avenue, Gun Hill Road, 219th Street, 225th Street, 233rd Street, Nereid Avenue, Wakefield-241st Street, Morris Park, Pelham Parkway, Gun Hill Road, Baychester Avenue, Eastchester-Dyre Avenue No. 6 line: 3rd Avenue-138th Street, Brook Avenue, Cypress Avenue, East 143rd Street-St. Mary's Street, East 149th Street, Longwood Avenue, Hunts Point Avenue, Whitlock Avenue, Elder Avenue, Morrison-Sound View Avenues, St. Lawrence Avenue, Parkchester, Castle Hill Avenue, Zerega Avenue, Westchester Square-East Tremont Avenue, Middletown Road, Buhre Avenue, Pelham Bay Park    AT THE 43rd PRECINCT COUNCIL MEETING Speaking at the monthly meeting of the 43rd Precinct Community Council, which recently held a highly successful annual appreciation breakfast, attended by Police Commissioner James O'Neill and other brass. This very active precinct council meets the first Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m.at the precinct, at 900 Fteley Ave., with guest speakers, updates on local crime and crime prevention tips. The public is invited to ask the precinct commander and his officers any questions they may have about public safety issues. If you are concerned about your community and quality of life, I urge to attend a meeting.

We had a great turnout for our job fair April 5 at the Sonia Sotomayor Community Center in Soundview, with about 300 job seekers showing up to interview with about 80 potential employers for jobs in healthcare, government, the general contracting industry, retail, finance, public service, business, Summer Youth Employment, technology training and job placement, and many more. Let's hope a lot of jobs came out of it. And by the way, the next job fair will be Wednesday, May 9.

EDITOR'S NOTE: There is a photo of Bronx Democratic County Leader Marcos Crespo with his choice to replace Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda, and the current 87th A.D. Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda.  We have decided not to post the photo or the name of the person that the Bronx Communist Party, (excuse us) Bronx Democratic Party has chosen many weeks before the 87th Assembly seat is even vacant. when we asked Comrade Crespo what if Assemblyman Luis Sepulveda does not win the Special election for the 32nd State Senate seat, Comrade Crespo replied "Then I guess we have no candidate". Our apologies to current Assemblyman and candidate for the 32nd State Senate seat Luis Sepulveda, but if he is going along with the charade of Comrade Crespo we will take that apology back.
