Update* This week…read moreother events occured regarding the case I was involved in and I just want to say that Officer Mazzella was extremely professional, helpful and courteous. I am so grateful for him and couldn't thank him enough. Its only fair that I update this review to reflect what a wonderful officer this guy is.. you can tell he ENJOYS doing his job which we don't see very often. Officer Mazzella if you read this THANK YOU AGAIN.

I love this precinct. Sergeant Murphy is a bald cutie. His mustashe will leave you mesmerizedread more

This precinct is in charge of some of the nicer areas of the northeast Bronx but this has to be one…read moreof the worst precincts in the Bronx. They never solve crimes and unless its murder its considered petty and just shelfed. They will make you do police reports making you think something will be done but if you never call them you will never ever hear from them. They do more harm than good by botching evidence , stalling and running out the clock and divulging private information. By the time they are done you wont be able to do anything with your case and you would have been better off without them. The detective they assigned to me said they had better things to do, closed the case with leads not contacted and the leads they contacted they told all my private biz and the neighbor stopped talking to me. My family and I have filed about 10 reports in the past five years. Zero were solved and only in 2/10 was there even a follow up after the initial report. I highly suggest people forming neighborhood watches, have security cams and look out for each other. These cops have no interest in protecting and serving . They are collecting checks and counting the days to retirement. Stay safe or at least as safe as you can be if this is your precinct

After kicking in my bedroom window, the thief used my suitcases to steal my stuff. He trashed my…read morebedroom (tossing everything looking for secret treasures - hah little did he know that I am the secret treasure in my bedroom... but I digress, and this guy was an idiot). He stole my laptop, docking-station, monitor, keyboard and mouse... but forgot the battery or the power supply. Then he went through everything else looking for valuables. A couple of cameras, some small stuff. An ice cream container from Buckingham Palace filled with British coins. I called 911 from my doorway. My door was open when I got home. I looked into my apartment, and my monitor was gone. I pulled out my Blackberry and called 911 for the first (and hopefully last) time in my life. The operator stayed on the phone with me was I walked from room to room. She was great. My bedroom looked like a cyclone hit it, and my Teddy Bear was crumpled under broken glass. The thief left the light on in my bathroom. I was very angry. Soon enough, a cruiser pulled up with two patrol officers. They were very professional and kind. I was still very angry. When we were walking through my bedroom, assessing the damage, one asked in a concerned tone "Is it usually this messy?" I resisted the urge to slap him, but then realized that these people see the worst of society on a daily basis. I said "No. I made my bed this morning before I left." As we filled out paperwork, their supervisors came. Three plainclothes officers, who were also very kind and they listened to my anger. I was advised not to touch anything until forensics came. I wanted a drink, and one officer suggested that I just wear gloves and have a drink. I couldn't do it. I sat in my chair and never took of my coat. At 11, a detective came to let me know that forensics would come in the morning. I slept in the sofa that night - still angry, I pulled some spare pillows from the closet, and my emergency heater and I closed the door to the bedroom. I slept well, anger is exhausting. In the morning a team of forensic officers came. They got a footprint from my pillow (size 12 boots - just like the guy upstairs) and a print from my desk. I was fingerprinted to rule out my own prints, and after they talked with me for a while, they left and I started cleaning. That evening, the detective who is handling the case came to visit me. He had called a few times during the day, and when he and his partner arrived, I felt like I knew them already. This is just a brief sketch of what transpired over my Friday and Saturday. The upshot is, the police were AMAZING. I'm sorry that they ever had to come into my life, and my stuff is gone. It may be a miracle that I can get it back, but my computer was password protected, the majority of my stuff was backed up using dropbox, and x-marks. Yeah, it's going to cost me some money (I don't have renter's insurance). If you stumbled across this review, take a moment and think about how your life would be affected by a robbery. Make a list of your stuff and their serial numbers. (you might on a long shot get your stuff back). Some of my digital pictures are gone forever. But the majority were saved. I'll update this if the NYPD come through with finding my stuff - but until then, life goes on.... My life has officially become a cautionary tale....

So far, no good. They walk around with their chests out all big and bad, clean uniforms and…read moresuspect even old ladies of doing crimes but when you need them and they're hired to assist you. Nope, they don't do their jobs. This isn't a high crime area so they got complacent and lazy. A town without pity. It's time to move. I don't feel safe here!

Thanks for helping my friend finding my friend. Who told me he wanted to hurt himself because I…read moretook it serious and I showed you the text messages. Thank you. You guys worked really hard and I told you guys. Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate it, but he's Dominican. And that's the Pope's guards. I'm telling you, Michael Angelo designed their uniforms and you don't see my TV. Do you they look like court? Gestures in the colors of Mardi Gras lent kind of funny. Well then, Joanne asked Michael Angelo an artist to design it.Alright cause it's kind of fucking funny

Four Stars because there's always room for improvement. I've been living back in NYC for 17 years…read more During this time I've seen a big improvement in the attitude of our police. The new recruits are friendly, helpful and not intimidating as in the past. I had a couple bad experiences about 10-15 years ago. Now when I ask for information I'm assisted. It's like when you teach a child the policeman is your friend. I wasn't raised that way. I was taught to be afraid of them. I'd be locked up. I still have a fear of imprisonment. Thus my name FreeBird. I try my best to keep the law because of my fear. I thank the police every chance I get these days. We lost 9 to suicide this year. I'm grateful every day that they take the job. They are so very very underpaid! Thank you NYPD. My heart and prayers go with you.

I had to get some fingerprint cards filled out for a background check for a job. I went later that…read moreday; they told me the person who does fingerprints wasn't there. There was absolutely nothing going on, from what I could see. I doubt the person wasn't there. I came back the next day during the time they said the person would be there. Again, nothing going on. I waited about 20 minutes for someone to come down and do something that took about 5 min. I will say, people were helpful when I came in and asked me what I needed, and they did call the person who did the fingerprint cards within 5-10 minutes of me arriving. I'll give NYPD the benefit of the doubt and assume there was more going on behind closed doors than I could see; otherwise, I would have to say things looked and operated needlessly slow.

So, I had another exchange with the officers at the 33rd. I took my pit/Bullmastiff to a site of…read moreloud music (the only reason I call and am often ignored) and the very kind officers (gently) chastised me for going to the scene with an "intimidating" dog prior to their arrival. We had a convivial exchange that their 'arrival" could be 30 seconds to 8 hours; hence why I felt the need to be pro active. I explained to them the aspect of babies/toddlers in very scary scenarios and they seemed to relate yet were persistent in saying my community involvement was complicating and possibly intimidating. I didn't bother to voice that I am 5'1 and 115 lbs and the "party" included quite dramatic characters who threatened to shoot my dog. However, may I praise myself/my dog for staying until reality kicked in? I think the renter nearly sh$t his pants upon seeing my 100 lb dog at his doorstep. We had a standoff until the police arrived and I left (back to being chastised) and the music stopped. I'm "upping" my stars because the police officer seemed to genuinely want attendance at the Community Affairs Meeting. I will attend the next one and hope we can build a better relationship. Just as an FYI: I never call 311 or 911 over pot or drugs. All I want is a civil weekend. I believe you can have fun and notkeep your neighbors up 'till 5 am.

POLICE ARE THE SOCIAL FABRIC OF COMMUNITIES! People are…read moreoften too critically offensive of law enforcement based on extraordinary eventful circumstances beyond the fate of reality, yet they discount & discredit the bittersweet necessary presence of dedicated Officers in their sectors to Serve & Protect which once was their motto! Of course we're all under the sensitivity discretions of distinctive "melting-pot" of millions of unique people of different ancestral cultural traditions, languages, religions, rituals customs, beliefs-faiths, and attitudes who don't think alike and come with temperamental misconceived confusions exhibiting different individual etiquette-mannerism! But above all these differentiations over a century still allowed the gradual mixed races of law enforcement officials to have astonishingly outdone themselves improving communities even with shortages of manpower, resources, and the malevolent nexus nemesis of wickedness of organize crimes, gangs, fraudulent people, thieves, robbers, and domestic violence of criminal predicates heinous assaults to innocent folks. What society doesn't realize is that our POLICE have anti-crime, anti-drug, antiterrorism, and other intervention community units to prevent and combat the injustices that plagues civilizations endless of sinners temptations evil "mindsets" regards for greed & gluttonous search of illegal cash, robbery of property, damage to business & homes, and injury or death of good natured victims. Sadly, criminal lost minds & hearts can't all be saved as well as the sacrificial lambs of noble benevolent folks & family caught in unpredictable "crossfires" of pure FATE & COINCIDENCES! We all must embrace those [humanitarian sacrifices] of these Brave FINEST Men & Women who dress in their uniforms with an ultimate breathe of confidence to do their jobs for better future of their children, parents, elderly grandparents, siblings, and commercial business owners daily struggle in NYC's toughest metropolitan neighborhoods! Recidivism efforts starts in the proactive homes, workplace, neighborhood watch, and political patriots willing to bring transformative changes. God Help Us All!

Service is non-existent. There were disruptive people having an outdoor party outside a bodega…read moreacross the street from me at 2am. The owners were selling alcohol to people right outside their storefront and allowing them to use their power outlet to use an obnoxiously loud amplified stereo system. I went online to file a 311 complaint several times throughout the evening only to receive a message saying they "found no evidence" of the incident. This happened several times throughout the night. The last one was at 1:38am when they closed my case a few minutes after it was received. The precincts community Facebook page states they are confiscating the stereo systems of people who are disturbing the peace and acting in a manner that is inconsiderate of their neighbors. They were missing in action when needed last night. Neighbors can't sleep and students can't do their homework. If this is the type of service one can expect as a tax paying citizen then we'd be better off defunding the police.

Maybe even drugs. The police should investigate this place.
