As Commanding Officer of the 79^th Precinct, and on behalf of all the members of this command, I welcome you to our website. I have been assigned as the Commanding Officer of the 79 since May 5, 2010 and look forward to continuing the command's mission of crime reduction and the improvement of overall quality of life within the Bedford - Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. I have been a member of the New York City Police Department since January of 1992 and have worked in the following commands: 52nd Precinct, Queens Narcotics Division, Midtown South Precinct, 113th Precinct, Police Service Area #8 the Queens Detective Bureau, and spent the past three and a half years as the Commanding Officer of Police Service Area # 7 which covered 22 Housing developments in the South Bronx.

Our mission is to continue to provide the safest environment for our residents, their guests and those conducting business within our Precinct. We strive to accomplish this by continuing to build upon our existing partnership between the members of the Community and all of the hard working uniformed and civilian members of the command.

I will continue to implement strategic deployment of my officers in a continuing effort to combat violent crimes, narcotic sales and usage, and quality of life issues. In order for us to maintain our success with crime reduction and the improvement of quality of life we will need the help of the residents and community leaders. Communication with community members is a key to continued success. It is imperative that your concerns and problems are brought to my attention, in order for them to be addressed in an expeditious manner. All of the men and women working in the 79^th Precinct will remain vigilant in their efforts to ensure a safe and secure community for everyone.
