Public Safety

We must work together to keep our neighborhood safe from crime and emergencies like construction accidents. In the wake of the two crane collapses on the Upper East Side last year that claimed 9 lives, we must increase financial support for emergency services, improve construction regulation and community notice, as well as expand our Community Emergency Response Teams.

Silent March to End Stop and Frisk

Submitted by kallos on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 12:00am

In 2011, NYPD officers conducted 685,724 street stops, a more than 600 percent increase since 2002, with more than 4 million people stopped since then. Black and Latino males between the ages of 14-24 accounted for percent 4.7% of population, and 41.6% of the stops in 2011. The number of stops of young black men exceeded the entire city population of young black men.

On Father’s Day, Sunday, June 17, I joined my fellow members of Community Board 8 Manhattan as well as thousands in a silent march to end stop and frisk and racial profiling. You can learn more at http://silentmarchnyc.org/
