23rd Precinct NYPD I'm Sorry about the awful thing that happened to the other reviewer. I am in contact with the police officers from this precinct frequently. It's polite conversation but none the less I'm impressed by their friendly polite demeanor. Then again I'm an old white lady. I have been into the precinct building. My apartment building now collects coats each winter for those in need. Prior to that I would walk over to the 23 Precinct and leave them. I admit I was not greeted when I enter. This is not a retail business. I expect they're thinking 'what's this ones problem'! I ask where I can leave my donation and typically received a hand gesture with a verbal description of the location. I didn't see a lot of arrested people or activities like you see on TV Shows. The times I went it was clean and quiet. No one waiting to be assisted. I'm grateful I don't need to use them currently. I enjoy talking to the officers when I encounter them in public. With my big mouth they'll learn a lot about my neighborhood! read more

NYPD - 23rd Precinct - 11/14/19 - Police Departments Near Me - New York, New York

No, You Police Didn't. I hate to do this. Because I know it's a tough job and doesn't pay as well as some people think. But I can only go off personal experience (without getting into what the NYPD did on Staten Island to that guy outside the store). Firstly, when I was on tour, an NYPD officer stalked me in Queens. He called a tow truck without telling me. It hooked up to my car while I was sitting in it, parked. They said if I didn't pay them $800 on the spot, they'd tow my car with all my belongings and music equipment in it. Luckily I happened to have the cash, they cleaned me out. All this because the person who had registered and then given the car to me, had 2 outstanding NYC parking tickets that they did not even remember, from 7 years earlier. Over 7 years the $200 or so turned into $800. You may say, fair enough. I say, obscene and extortion. Secondly, they sit around Union Square and other tourist spots ticketing everyone that comes along, no seatbelt, something sparkly hanging from the rearview, brake light out, you name it, here's a $100 ticket. Charming. As if people in NYC don't already have to pay enough to live there. I've been caught by this crap a few times. The tickets are obscenely overpriced. All this while people are getting stabbed, shot, and beaten up on deserted blocks in the Bronx or Queens. Speaking of which, thirdly, I recently rescued a girl who was being beaten up by thugs, and used my car as a sort of weapon to threaten the thugs into giving back her purse, too. After the thugs fled, it turned out a police officer had been watching the entire thing happen, and did nothing. Because he was transporting a prisoner, who was locked up in the back of his van. But his van had been stationary at the time, and even though it's against the rules, sometimes following the rules is the worst way to help the public. Anyway, my negative experiences with NYPD continue. I hope they improve someday. And I hope that while I am in NYC I meet a Nice Young Persian Dude. Oh wait, maybe that's me. read more

NYPD - 23rd Precinct - One time - Police Departments Near Me - New York, New York

*MUST READ**** Please watch the channel 7 news story on what nypd Dr. Henry did! Here is the link: https://youtu.be/0Ekl9AwPNrg I worked as an NYPD cop for 18 years. I was a recruiter for 10. My main goal in life was to help as many people as I can. I cared immensely for the people of the communities I served. I used discretion when I saw fit and I did not see the community as an enemy, rather as an ally. The NYPD did not like that. So they found a way to get me out. All I needed was 2 years to retire and they stopped me from reaching my goal and ruined my financial and emotional life. It all started when I was sent to the NYPD Medical division. I saw a real nasty doctor, Dr. Henry, for a minor shoulder injury I had. While I was waiting in the lobby, he heard me talking to my wife on the phone in Spanish. When he called me in to his office, His first question to me was "how does a guy with the last name Hamilton speak Spanish?" When I told him I have a spanish backround his demeanor changed. He then began asking me about an unrelated previous Hip resurface surgery I had 3 years prior. A surgery I was already signed off by variois NYPD Medical Doctors, and cleared to go back to work at full duty capacity for 3 years, and did so successfully. Even received a medal for arresting 3 armed robbers some 10 months after the hip resurfacing. Check out this video of my recent workouts: https://youtu.be/k6XsOquJeTU He then submitted paperwork to begin forcing me off my beloved career and to retire me based on hip resurfacing statistics, without ever examining me or personally assessing me to make his own justified determination that I was in any way disabled as he later labeled me. To remind you all I was already cleared and signed off for the hip for years. I worked as a recruiter for the 10 of my 18 years where I encountered maybe 1 dangerous confrontation which means I had very low chance of facing any dangerous situations, if I were at all even close to what this imbecile doctor was trying to label me. When I realized what he was contemplating, I got emotional. I begged him, saying I have 18 years on this job, I'm in phenomenal shape, and all I need is 2 years to get to my full pension. If he proceeds to kick me off early I would lose a substantial amount of hard earned pension. (Although, I had intentions to work many more years). I told him this will ruin my life financially, and emotionally. I also said I am a single income family with a pregnant wife and a young child. He patted me on the back and said "don't lose sleep over this, you don't seem like a dumb guy, you will find another job". He then closed the door, and I never heard from him again. He reported my alleged disability, as a danger to the public. Mind you I had recently ran 11 mile spartan race, I competed, and won an nypd sanctioned boxing match just 6 months after he began the process to terminate me. By the way the night of the NYPD boxing match, sanctioned by USA boxing, I had to be examined by a doctor. Which happened to be an NYPD honorary doc as well! I was thoroughly examined and, I passed the strict USA boxing medical standards, and was cleared to fight. I beat a 22 year old kid, I was 40 at the time. Tell me how I am a Danger to the public again? I was finally sent to a so-called "independent" medical board for final determination, a few months after winning the fight. Ironically, I caught them lying as well. Thank God for electronic devices *wink*! If you need some clarification, just visit my youtube channel, G hamm@ youtube. Now I am losing thousands of dollars monthly off my pension and struggling to stay above water. I need to reiterate all I needed was 2 years to get to my full retirement. In order to be a recruiter you have to be clean as whistle. Imagine if this is what they do to someone that never got in trouble, and followed all the rules, imagine what they do if they don't like you! Let me also tell you about the disgusting campaign of harrassment I received. Read this article from NY post: https://nypost.com/2019/04/10/ex-nypd-cop-was-bullied-by-co-workers-fired-over-hip-surgery-suit/ It was a nightmare I tell you! This is what they do.. I feel for the people of the community and trust me I have many recordings that prove there were many lies involved as well. read more

If you ask anyone that knows me well, they will tell you that I am ardently pro-law enforcement. I've always had good experiences with cops wherever I go. This is mainly due to the fact that I speak to them politely, and I have no criminal record. While I do not deny that racism and discrimination exist, I have not gotten that attitude from law enforcement personnel. I've never been a suspect in anything, however, I did have an interesting encounter shortly before I left New York City. A bit of background first... I was in NYC for school/training in the medical field. I was very vocally pro-law enforcement and pro-second amendment with some of my associates. I realized quickly how anti-second amendment people in Manhattan can be, so I left it at that. They will never convince me from my stance, and I will never convince them. Agree to disagree. An allegation was put forth about me to the admin, which was proven false. The person making this claim got it handed to them. Not happy with the result of that situation, this same person decided to make the same false allegation to NYPD. This cause two officers to show up at my apartment door. After talking with them, they determined that it was indeed based on a false allegation. I shook hands with them, and they took their leave. Now I have an interesting case in my hands. After giving it some thought, I determined the best course of action. Now, NYPD is no longer the only agency working on the case. Since returning home to California, two federal agencies have gotten word about what happened. I have no doubt that the person in question is going to learn a very hard lesson when it comes to making false allegations. If I really wanted to start trouble for this person, I would have gone to the press. But it's in the hands of the right people, so enough has been done from my end. And I'll end on a lighter note... I appreciate the NYPD for being friendly and professional. If I decide to return to NYC several months from now, I look forward to associating with them in the future. read more

It's an interesting police station with people who seem to make generalization about certain situations, etc. In addition, some people have interesting facial expressions, which tells a lot (psychologist in me). However, some officers on the block seem friendly since I speak, and they speak back. Nonetheless, I was greeted outside the door before I could make it into the police station, which was a bit bizarre. The young officer proceeded to ask why I was there, so I told him. Moreover, I proceeded to walk into the police station and was greeted by a young man who wanted me to come back with copies of what was taken from me, so I did. Overall, we talked and for some reason he asked if I lived in housing, so I wanted to pick his brain to find out why he thought that was the case and from listening to him this is my conclusion since I neglected to ask him. I believe he might have thought that because I had items stolen but that might not be the case because an individual can live in the most affluent areas and get mail and other items stolen, especially in NY (Hamptons and so on, which is okay for NYC standards of living). I hope it's not the other hypotheses that I have and if so, that is sad. I hope people learn to be rapport builders and not wall creators. I believe that is one of the biggest issues people have in general regardless of the professions they're in. Some people feel, like they can't be kind, friendly or have emotions due to the job they're in, which is interesting because that makes for better policing combined with rapport building, which makes the job a bit less stressful. The city seems to get more wrong than it gets right these days due to poor leadership in all areas. Lastly, I have been to this police station before, but the regular people I met prior were not there that day. I wish the young guy luck in his endeavors, and he might want to lighten up because life is way too short to be so emotionless and aggressive. P.S. the last time I was here crypto was stolen from me but no one in the cyber department was willing to help or meet with me (one of the gentlemen went up and came back down and said "contact the attorney general "even though I had a well-documented fill). I know some just hate doing the extra paperwork. I crypto can't be recovered but it would have been nice to have the situation on file. read more

First off, the NYPD has a tough and dangerous job. Trying to keep the millions of residents and visitors safe is no mean feat. To be quite frank, I wouldn't want the job. However, when it comes to actually following through with 311 complaints about illegal parking in bike and bus lanes the NYPD is not doing their job. The NYPD refuses to ticket drivers who park in the bike lane. They frequently close out illegal parking reports as "no police action needed." I've reported a car wash on First Avenue a dozen times for parking cars on not only the bike lane but on the sidewalk. Guess what? My local precinct doesn't have jurisdiction. Guess what again? Their cruisers are frequently getting washed here. I wonder how many car washes it takes before the NYPD will allow you to park on the sidewalk? Likewise, guess who cars their cruisers in the bus lane? Guess who hits the sirens to go through red lights only to turn them off when they clear the intersection? Guess who parks their SUVs in the bike lanes outside Dunkin Doughnuts? Guess who turns on red and angrily beeps at cyclists in the lane they turned into? Last one, who after a cyclist is killed by a hit and run driver sets up stings to get cyclists without bells? If you guessed NYPD to all the above you are right! Come on NYPD do your job and keep all New Yorkers safe. read more

Dear NYPD, Thank you for keeping the streets safe. When I come up from the subway at night I feel much safer once I see you. Although, I wish you would tuck in your shirt, and maybe get a uniform that fits a little better. And stand up straight. Most of you are ok, but, I hear a couple of you have been raping women. What's up with that? That's totally un-coply like behavior. *disgusted Also, you really shouldn't run red lights. I see you do it all the time. I also see you driving in the fast lane on the BQE, and if somebody gets in your way, you turn on your siren to get them to change lanes. Strange behavior. Taking privileges. I see things like this all the time. You don't really set the example. You're getting corrupt. You don't leave anything much to be respected. Your cop cars are always dirty. Your clothes never fit. You're raping women... I really don't know what else to say about you. Those NYPD cops out there that have morals, always conduct themselves in a way that upholds the law, look and act in a professional manner- thank you. And I know there aren't very many of you out there- but your services are very much appreciated. Thank you for setting the example for your colleagues and the rest of us civillians. read more

I give the NYPD credit for keeping the streets as safe as they can. I respect that. What I DO NOT respect at all is the way some of these cops treated one of my friends. I visited New York most recently as part of a Habitat for Humanity building project in the Bronx. During our off time, I had plenty of time to explore New York with some of my friends from college who were volunteering with me. One of my friends happened to be from China and the other happened to be from Afghanistan. My Chinese friend was really excited when we saw a couple of uniformed men in NYPD uniforms. They were on duty, but they seemed kind of scummy/greasy and were just joking around with each other. When our group of four approached, they got these douchey, goofy grins on their faces. "Oh, what do we have here?" one asked the other. My Chinese friend asked if we could get a picture with them and they obliged. They seemed to think it was the funniest thing in the world that he asked. While smiling for the picture, the cops exchanged awful racist comments referring to really offensive stereotypes about Chinese men. They knew we were all standing right there and could hear exactly what they were saying, but they didn't care. They were just amused in this larger-than-life kind of way. My Chinese friend was totally mortified, felt really embarrassed, and could not believe how racist these New York police officers were--people who he had previously revered. Based on the comments they made about my Chinese friend, I'm shocked they didn't make a comment about my other Afghan friend being a terrorist or something. I was honestly embarrassed and ashamed for the state of New York and for America in general. Is that the kind of welcome we offer international visitors? Despicable. read more

Don't hate on the NYPD around me unless you wanna get five fingers to the mouth. Yea, I said it. Sure, there are some bad seeds, but these boys (and women, whatever) keep my city safe, take a lot of sh-t from people and put themselves on the line so you can walk around Times Square without getting shanked. Plus, they look a-effin-dorable in their unis. I love a man with a gun. Who knows how to use it. Generally, when people don't like the police, they're criminals. Just puttin it out there. read more

i worked in the worst part of east harlem for one year during the early 90s and i was actually glad that the 23 was a block away cause without the police i would have never showed up for work .yes there are a small percentage of cops that are bad apples but 99 percent are good guys and gals who want to do their tour safety and go home alive. my coworkers and i became friends with a few cops who would hit the local cop bar on park ave and they are no different then you and i. the 23rd precinct is still one of the most active precincts in nyc and with the lax laws giving criminals plenty of freedom and no cash bail, lock em up and release the same day, etc , i understand why its a busy precinct. i bet the law abiding folks who live in the area are happy to have the police around and not so much for the criminals. i will always support good honest cops and the criminals and the cop haters can jump in a lake if they have a problem with that. read more

I should have known better not to walk around at night alone, It happened near the anniversary of Kitty and Genovese Syndrome. I was in a quiet neighborhood so didn't think I have anything to fear, Then suddenly this lanky pointy-faced mugger came out of nowhere. He struck me in the back and knocked me down to the ground, Not a single person in the area heard my loud screaming sounds. Trying to shut me up, he stomped me right in the mouth. I got back up and kicked him twice down south. As he knelt cuddling his balls in pain, He looked at me as if I was the one who is insane. He snarled at me and said a curse, I responded "You mother f*cker! You're not taking my purse!" Just when he was about to pull out a knife, The police arrived in time to save my life. I can't imagine what could have happened to me, If it wasn't for the presence of the NYPD! read more

as a relatively privileged person, I get better treatment that most, for sure. that of course, is yet another reason the NYPD is scum -- the treatment I've seen and heard about from friends who are people of color or transgendered is truly despicable. we live in a city where laws like stop and frisk make it a-OK for the police to take out personal prejudice on folks that aren't rich and white, and boy do they seem to take advantage of it. from personal experience -- I've been hit by cars while riding my bike and told by police that I was at fault for riding where there was no bike lane (not a law, btw) and then refused all help or even the ability to file an incident report. asked for their badge numbers, got a "nope," and they drove away, leaving me bloody in the middle of the street. which is nothing compared the horrors they inflict on people in far worse situations from me, but you know. it's a yelp review. "the service was terrible." friends working in the justice system (for the DA) have told me, verbatim, "I don't think in my years of working here, I have ever seen a policeman help another person. I have only seen them ruin lives." nypd, stop ruining lives. go away. don't come back. read more

I respect the NYPD when they do a good job. However, my friend got repeatedly harassed by a bunch of men in a short time span right in front of the police and not one of them lifted a finger to help her. If that wasn't bad enough, my friend went up to about 9 police officers and told them about how men had followed and grabbed her. Shortly after, I told them the exact same thing. None of them did anything! The only thing that happened after was that one of the officers just gave her a very amused look, another one told her, "You're basically naked, what did you expect?" It was Halloween and my friend's costume was a little revealing, but that is no reason for her to be repeatedly harassed. And that is CERTAINLY no reason for her legitimate complaints about harassment to be dismissed, especially by authorities who claim to "serve and protect us." Also his completely misogynistic comment basically insinuated that my friend should expect harassment whenever she dresses up to have fun, and that attitude is completely unacceptable. read more
