New York City Police Department Housing Bureau
The
New York City Police Department Housing Bureau
is responsible for providing the security and delivery of
police
services to about 420,000 people using
public housing
throughout
New York City
. They are stationed in Police Service Areas (PSA), which are almost identical to police precincts, with nine PSAs in total located throughout the five
borough
s. Officers often do vertical patrols, making sure illegal activity does not take place in the halls, stairways, or the roof. The
New York City Housing Authority Police Department
was merged with the
New York City Police Department
(NYPD), like the
New York City Transit Police
, in 1995. Some new police officers are randomly assigned to housing units. Statistics on crimes in NYC Public Housing are posted by the NYCPD and are available on-line at
