As reported by Mary Frost in the Eagle, the NYPD’s 84th Precinct, which covers “Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, part of Downtown Brooklyn, DUMBO and Vinegar Hill,” has a new Commanding Officer, Captain Erek Powers. He is an eighteen year veteran who has served in many different parts of Brooklyn, including a previous assignment to the 84th. He was introduced at the 84th Precinct Community Council Meeting on January 20. As detailed in the Eagle story, community leaders at that meeting asked him about his plans to deal with a number of issues, including anticipated crowds for national 250th anniversary ceremonies, traffic problems on Atlantic Avenue, and conditions at the Clark Street subway station. Captain Powers promised action on all these matters. Other issues mentioned were “package theft, a stranger trying to gain entry into a neighborhood school, noise complaints, unlocked doors at a public housing project, disruptive helicopters flying low over residential buildings, and illegal vending on Washington Street.”
Welcome back, Captian Powers!
