Don’t think we’ve forgotten about this, NYPD. As we’ve said repeatedly: These neighborhood crime statistics would be an invaluable resource for citizens. It’s our contention that precinct-wide crime numbers are almost completely useless if we still don’t know, specifically, where the crimes are happening. Our count-up (see below) starts from when we first formally requested sector stats for the 52nd Precinct last June. In October of last year we requested sector stats for every precinct in the borough. We received initial form response letters from the NYPD, but no statistics. For some background, see our Norwood News‘ editorial here.
