Divides the one hundred ninth precinct of the New York city police department into two separate subdivisions.
Summary
This bill would amend the New York City Administrative Code to divide the New York City Police Department’s 109th Precinct into two separate subdivisions. One subdivision would represent Flushing South, and the other would represent North Shore - College Point, Whitestone, Clearview, and Bay Terrace. The bill directs the police commissioner to determine the exact boundaries for each subdivision in accordance with department regulations.
The measure also requires the NYPD to allocate the resources needed to establish and support both precinct subdivisions. It would take effect 120 days after becoming law. In practical terms, the bill is aimed at reorganizing police coverage and administration within the current 109th Precinct area rather than creating a new citywide policing structure.
Impact
The bill would change the New York City Administrative Code by adding a new subdivision to section 14-129, specifically requiring the 109th Precinct to be split into two precinct subdivisions. It would affect NYPD administrative planning, boundary-setting, and resource allocation for the communities covered by the current 109th Precinct, including Flushing South, College Point, Whitestone, Clearview, and Bay Terrace. The bill does not appear to alter criminal law or statewide police powers, but it would impose a local operational mandate on the department.
Sentiment
No committee transcript or vote record is available, so there is no documented debate or recorded vote to indicate formal support or opposition. Based on the bill text alone, the measure appears administrative and localized, suggesting its purpose is to improve police management and service delivery in the affected neighborhoods. Because there is no discussion record, the overall sentiment cannot be assessed beyond the bill’s straightforward organizational intent.
Contention
There is no recorded committee discussion or voting history in the provided materials, so no specific points of contention are documented. Potential areas of dispute, if raised, would likely concern how the precinct boundaries are drawn, whether splitting the precinct would improve or dilute police responsiveness, and what resources would be required to support two subdivisions. Any such concerns are not stated in the available record.
