They took 30+ minutes to arrive. The person had already left then told that it was probably in my head when I had photo evidence and a witness, and told that I couldn't file a report, but when I took matters into my own hands and people defending me, they wanna come immediately. Y'all don't wanna do your job, but when people take things in their own hands y'all wanna pretend to play victim God forbid something happens.

So as I have pointed out in most of reviews for this trip, this was not a vacation. The sudden…read moredeath of my sister mean i had to make this trip to start getting some answers and making arrangements. This is how and why I found myself in front of my sisters apartment building, with my suitcase, the temperature dropping, and no idea what to do next. The call had come a few days prior and I found myself speaking to an officer of the 112th Precinct. Unable to even get into the building, and knowing it had been sealed by the police, I headed to the agreeable close station. There the desk Sargent on duty and civilian present (I assume a community service officer) were sympathetic and were able to help me understand what I needed to do to get a court order to enter to get clothing for my sister and go from there. It was a bit of relief to go from unsure to having a mission that I needed to accomplish. 3 days later I was back. This time it was to wait for an officer (or two) to escort me and supervise my time int he apartment) which would be under seal till the court declared me an administrator. They again were friendly, professional, and sympathetic. I would have to wait. Unsaid was that this was not a high priority. So I waited. It took many hours, but they were able to free up 2 officers to head over with me. Again the officers who escorted me were friendly and professional. It was appreciated in this trying time.

Since I was giving him the 20 AirPods for a good deal I figured it would go smoothly although within five minutes I was Robbed, I tried to run after them and got threatened that I will be stabbed if I kept following them. I spent a lot of money on these AirPod pros and they were not all mine so I was now only losing my rent money but my funds rent money as well I was devastated and I did the only thing I could think of which was called the police. Within less than five minutes the 75th precinct responded and got to work, I was lucky to be greeted with officers, Officer Ramnaraine and Officer Singh, I was in a state of panic and they were very helpful we're getting the information and getting the word out to help me get my items back and to find the perpetrators so they would not threaten anyone else. We went around to look for them and eventually came to 75th precinct were they told me they have found the perpetrators and my items that have been stolen. Mind you this was all within less than one hour! They were incredible, motivated and really helped me through this terrible process. I would honestly and truthfully from bottom of my heart I really do want to think the 75th precinct, the officers to help me and the offices there searching and helping the case. I am so proud of our police force NYPD! Thank you for all that you do!

Many times there will be DOT members, city council members, even congress members that represent the area will stop by the meetings to talk or answer questions and concerns of the community. A lot of the members are people who have been living in this area for generations! You hear some great stories and get to really know your neighbors. That's not something I'm really use to as a native New Yorker lol! I'm glad to have found out about this great civic association for a neighborhood that I didn't grow up in. They serve coffee at the meatings which is also nice. Many of the members political views may be leaning heavily to one side that I am not too much of a fan of but its a bit expected in a slightly wealthier community. I do enjoy a good debate hear and now, and believe me those meetings can get heated! lol They have lots of information up on there site, like when and where you can attend a meeting no need to call ahead. If you live in any of these neighborhoods, and even forest hills too; they have a private group on Facebook that you can join. Lots of debating going on there.

The tall thin black employee whom you will see upon entering might be tbe rudest person in a processional environment that ive ever witnessed in action. This individual really needs some career counseling as he'd be better suited having no contact with people in the office. I watched him bark at people, be dismissively rude, just a low class personality. However, the agent assigned to me upon being called to a specific room, was extremely helpful, kind and effective. Having come prepared with a mountain of paperwork, she calmly and patiently sifted through all of what I had with me. Upon completion, assured me that all files will be sent to the appropriate party for processing. Her five stars and that other guys one star brings the average to a total of three stars. See what a bad employee can do to hurt ones star rating? So unfortunate for all the others.
