10th Precinct Community Council Meeting: Wednesday, March 27, 7pm at the 10th Precinct (230 W. 20th St. btw. 7th & 8th Aves.) |  Having assumed Commanding Officer duties late last year, one of the general public’s all-too-rare opportunities to meet Capt. Alexander Brathwaite (and pose questions) happens as he (almost always) represents the 10th Precinct at Community Council meetings (held at 7pm on the las Wed. of the month, except during June-August’s summer hiatus). Organized and moderated by Council President Larry O’Neill, this monthly citizen-run event features a Q&A session that has a good track record of examining the results of insights given and reasurrances made at previous Council meetings (a level of accountabiity that’s been particularly useful over the years when it comes to crime and quality of life concerns at and around the corner of Eighth Ave. and West 21st St.).

The 10th Precinct Sector C Build the Block Meeting: Thursday, March 28, 5pm at Manhattan Plaza (400 W. 43rd St.) | NCOs, or Neighborhood Coordination Officers, host this quarterly meeting addressing crime and quality of life matters for the 10th Precinct’s Sector C (W. 29th St. to W. 43rd St., 9th Ave. to the Hudson).  Your Sector C NCOs are PO Marian Bencea (Marian.Bencea@nypd.org ) & PO Daniel Sendrowski (Daniel.Sendrowski@nypd.org). others. Click here to find your Build the Block meeting. It’s a good idea to check in on the day of the scheduled meeting, as plans do sometimes change on short notice (in which case the 10th Precinct’s Twitter account, @NYPD10Pct, is a reliable source for last-minute info). As this event listing was being created, Build the Block meetings for Sectors A and B had already taken place, and Second Quarter meeting dates/locations were not yet announced. But that doesn’t mean you don’t deserve some basic info: Sector A’s area of coverage is W. 14th St. to W. 21st St., 7th Ave. to the Hudson. Your Sector A NCOs are PO William Lleras (William.Lleras2@nypd.org) and PO Taimoor Ahmad (Taimoor.Ahmad@nypd.org). Sector B’s area of coverage is the north side of W. 21st St. to south side of W. 29th St., from Seventh Ave. to the Hudson. Your Sector B NCOs are PO Dylan Darnaud (Dylan.Darnaud@nypd.org) and PO Daniel Bavuso (Daniel.Bavuso@nypd.org). For more info on the March 28 meeting, see the below screenshot taken from the event’s web listing.
