A big thank you to Chaplain Robert Rice for taking time out of his day to address our 3rd Platoon roll call. He lead our patrol cops in a moment of prayer before they made their way out. It is always a good way to start your tour. @NYPDPBMN @NYPDChiefPatrol #prayer #together

Last month PO Sosa and PO Sanchez Zapata apprehended a trio responsible for a string of assaults throughout East Harlem, all without incident. We want to thank @NYPDPBMN Chief Stephenson for stopping by the 23rd Precinct to acknowledging our officers great police work!

Friendly reminder to always safeguard your vehicle... ALWAYS try to park in high traffic, well-lit areas and NEVER leave property such as loose change, electronics or personal bags in your vehicle while parked. Don't give criminals an easy one!

Earlier today we were lucky enough to have Chaplain Rice address our 3rd Platoon rollcall. Chaplain Rice is always making it known that our officers have his support, and that we are in his prayers. We appreciate you too, Chaplain! Always a pleasure!
