Let's see if this continues to work out.

The second round of a community policing experiment that pulled back cop patrols from a strip of Brooklyn’s Brownsville this spring saw 911 calls cut in half as grassroots groups stepped up as problem solvers.

Officials are now looking for other neighborhoods to replicate the success of the Brownsville Safety Alliance, which removed NYPD details from their visible posts on Mother Gaston Boulevard between Pitkin and Sutter avenues from noon to 10 p.m. daily for about a week in late April and early May.

As the police withdrew about one block away from the experimental zone in each direction, the “cure-violence” group BIVO — Brownsville In, Violence Out — kept its eyes on the streets.

Meanwhile, various city agencies and nonprofit groups set up sidewalk tables to offer community services and resources, from boxes of food to free COVID tests.

At a Zoom debriefing on May 13 with dozens of participating groups, Deputy Inspector Terrell Anderson said only five 911 calls were recorded in the program’s zone from April 26 to May 1 — down from 10 during the same period a year ago.

And Anderson, the commanding officer of the 73rd Precinct, noted a significant difference not just in the number of 911 calls but also in the type.

Love it. Anything that helps cops not get involved in "normal" activity.

They can keep the community "activists". I'll take the extra cops in my neighborhood.

In a way, if you dont interfere with drug dealings, things tend to run smooth.
