47th Precinct Community Council

Happy Halloween from the 47th Precinct! Remember these important safety tips to ensure you and your loved ones have a fun and safe Halloween!

Congratulations to the 47th Precinct's very own Captain Szot, Detective Legrand and Detective Morales on their promotions!

Today, we unveiled Detective First Grade Didarul Islam Way, honoring the life, service, and sacrifice of Detective First Grade Didarul Islam. May this street sign serve as a lasting reminder of his courage and unwavering commitment to New York City. #FidelisAdMortem

Yesterday, the 47th Precinct honored Patrolman Lawrence Gallagher during a ceremony marking the 90th anniversary of his line-of-duty death. Thank you to all who attended, including the Gallagher family and the family of Detective First Grade Didarul Islam. #FidelisAdMortem

The 47th Precinct proudly welcomes 27 new police officers to our command. We look forward to the dedication and professionalism they'll bring as they begin serving our community. Welcome to the team, and best wishes for a safe and successful career.

The 47th Precinct thanks St. Luke’s Episcopal Church for hosting the 2025 Police Recognition Event and for the continued support of our officers and community.

The first of many meetings between deputy Inspector Muhammad Ashraf and 47th Precinct community council president Cheryl McNear. Deputy Inspector Muhammad had the honor of passing along the 47th Precinct challenge coin today.

Your 47th Pct. NCO’s are working hard to address your complaints about unregistered & reckless scooters in our community. Earlier this week they participated in a multi-agency joint operation that resulted in these scooters being seized. When you speak, we listen & take action.

Thieves will break into your car to remove anything of value.  Always roll up your windows, turn off the engine, remove all keys/fobs, don’t have anything valuable in open view and lock the doors whenever leaving your vehicle unattended.

We’ve heard your complaints and the loud music coming from Jerome Ave. Last night your 47th Pct. Neighborhood Coordination Officers seized these speakers and issued their owner a summons. When you speak, we listen and take action.

There’s no better way to meet members of the community and learn about a neighborhood than by taking a walk. That’s why residents of #Wakefield & #Woodlawn can expect to see your newest 47th Pct. cops patrolling our community on foot.

Thank you to the Levalle School for the Blind for allowing us and our colleagues @ATFNewYork to come spend the morning with your amazing students and staff, we’re not sure who had more fun, the cops or the kids.

This morning our 47th Pct Community Council held its 32nd Annual Fellowship breakfast where we acknowledged some of our officers and community members for their outstanding service to our community.

This week your 47th Pct. Neighborhood Coordination Officers removed 5 abandoned vehicles from one block. When you speak, we listen and take action.

Racing on city streets is illegal but we made an exception today. This weekend Crawford Avenue was used to decide the North Bronx Soapbox Champion. Great job by the kids who built their own cars that were state inspected for competition.

Yesterday afternoon your 47th Pct. Field Intelligence Team executed a search warrant and recovered these illegally possessed guns. If you have information about someone with an illegal gun please call 1-866-GUN-STOP or 311. You can earn up to $1,500 dollars in CASH!

Last night your 47th Pct. Cops, along with our colleagues from @NYPDTransport & @NYCSanitation, removed over 40 abandoned & derelict vehicles you’ve told us about. When you speak, we listen and take action.

This morning you saw suspicious activity and dialed 9-1-1. Your 47th Pct. cops were up the street and after a brief chase, arrested three individuals who are believed to have been stealing catalytic converters in the area. Together thieves don’t stand a chance in our community.
