NYC residents welcome satellite precinct in overwhelmed area: ‘Long time coming’

Overall, the new satellite precinct in northeast Queens is being met with positivity and hope for improved safety and quality of life in the area. With an additional 66 officers focusing on neighborhoods such as College Point, Whitestone, Beechhurst, and Bay Terrace, residents are looking forward to increased police presence and quicker emergency response times. The initiative comes after years of calls for more attention to the area, especially with the rapid expansion of downtown Flushing taking resources away from other parts of Queens.

City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, who has been instrumental in pushing for the satellite precinct, emphasized the need for consistent police presence in areas that have been understaffed or overwhelmed by the precinct’s workload. The new patrol force will target concerns such as shoplifting, car break-ins, burglaries, disruptive car meet-ups, and drag racing.

Despite some improvements in crime statistics in the precinct, residents have still been feeling the effects of quality-of-life issues such as parking problems, noise complaints, and illegal activity. The new satellite precinct is seen as a step in the right direction to address these issues and provide a sense of security for the community.

Local residents, both long-time and newer to the area, are hopeful that the increased police presence will lead to lasting changes and a safer environment for all. With concerns about drugs, prostitution, and homelessness on the rise, the new initiative is seen as a much-needed response to the changing landscape of the neighborhoods in northeast Queens.

While some residents like Maryanne Keiling have reservations about the location of the satellite precinct at the Police Academy in College Point, overall, the sentiment is positive towards the initiative. As the community continues to work together with law enforcement to address safety concerns, the hope is that the new satellite precinct will make a significant impact in improving the overall quality of life in northeast Queens.

Residents of Whitestone and Bay Terrace have been expressing concerns about the lack of police presence in their neighborhoods. With the nearest police precinct being too far away, residents have been feeling vulnerable and unsafe. However, a new initiative has been put in place to address this issue.

The new police deployment consists of 54 officers and 12 supervisors operating out of the NYPD Police Academy. This initiative does not require the rental of new space at taxpayer expense, which is a relief for many residents. The goal of this initiative is to provide a more localized police presence in the community, ensuring quicker response times and improved safety for residents.

One resident, Paul Morales, shared his support for the satellite precinct, stating that he wouldn’t have a problem with it as it’s better to be safe than sorry. Morales has experienced package theft from his home in recent months, highlighting the need for increased police presence in the area.

While the satellite precinct is currently considered temporary, there are hopes for a more permanent solution in the near future. Residents like Kleven are eager for a more local brick-and-mortar police presence in the community. Currently, residents still have to travel to Flushing to access police services, which can be inconvenient and time-consuming.

Overall, the new police deployment initiative is a step in the right direction for Whitestone and Bay Terrace. By providing a more localized police presence, residents can feel safer and more secure in their neighborhoods. Hopefully, a permanent solution will be established soon, ensuring ongoing safety and security for all residents.
