As Chief Ronal Serpas has announced, all weekly COMSTAT meetings in each police district, and the citywide COMSTAT meeting, will be open to the public. COMSTAT meetings involve a discussion of the latest neighborhood crime, with an emphasis on statistical data. The schedule is as follows:

2nd District COMSTAT meetings: each Wednesday, 1 pm, at Touro Hospital, 2nd floor

Citywide COMSTAT meetings, each Friday at 8:30am at 401 City Park Avenue.

Additionally, please note that the Second District is in the process of compiling a list of businesses, and private citizens, who have surveillance cameras that may assist in solving crimes committed in the area. If you have a surveillance camera or know of someone who does, please forward that information to Lt. Montalbano at JMMontalbano@cityofno.com.
