The regular monthly meeting of the 70th Precinct Community Council was called to order. PCC President Ed Powell greeted all and invited everyone to join him in the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.
He then acknowledged the various representatives of public officials and other distinguished guests present at the meeting (see above).
1 President Anderson of Brooklyn College presents.
The President came to acknowledge the strong relationship between Brooklyn College and the 70th Precinct. There had been a misinformed article in the paper about Police Officers not be welcome on Brooklyn College Campus. President Anderson put that to bed with a clear and very supportive speech about the importance of the role of the NYPD to Brooklyn College.
2. Commanding Officer presents
In the interest of time, Ed Powell got right to introducing the CO. The CO explained it was "another year in crime down in the 70th". Shooting incidents are down 50%.
Robberies and burglaries are also down for the year. The CO then introduced some new team members. Lt Derrick Epstein will be serving as "special projects coordinator." He will be supervising Youth services and helping with the NCOs. But we also met Sg John Velez, the new NCO Sgt (supervisor). The CO then offered to take questions. There were none. But the CO took a moment to clarify that he too considered Brooklyn College key to the 70th. He cited officers who continue their education at BC.
3. Assemblymember Rodynese Bichotte presents
Thanked Inspector Palumbo for his leadership and complimented him on his community oriented approach. She also welcomed the new President Anderson to the community. She announced the new officer is open at 1312 Flatbush and invited people to drop by. The Assemblymember also invited all to her State of the District presentation on January 18 from 6pm to 8pm at the Student Center at Brooklyn College. She called out Lise Derrick as her new chief of staff.
4. Ed Powell introduced the Magic Show.
And the party began.
Respectfully submitted,
Nathan Thompson
