- Domestic Violence has no place in our community, especially when it involves menacing with a firearm. Our Patrol Officers responded quickly, defused the situation, arrested the suspect and seized this loaded firearm used in the crime.
- After running towards the sound of gunshots, our Field Training Officers pursued a suspect, conducted an investigation, made multiple arrests, and seized three firearms. Strong work by our Officers who refuse to let violent offenders own the night.

- Within 60 seconds of each other, our FIO and NST teams each made separate firearm arrests, stopping armed individuals before another shooting could happen in our community. Proactive policing saves lives, and last night was another example of that in action. @NYPDCT
