16 Most Insane 62nd Precinct Moments Of 2015

Source: NYPD

The NYPD’s 62nd Precinct is having a pretty incredible year.

Day after day, its brave men and women stake out burglars, tear apart drug dens, solve murders, and confiscate illegal weapons. They also keep the peace at street festivals and parades, listen to our problems, and make young visitors feel welcome at the station. As a result, Bensonhurst has been experiencing a record-breaking low in major crimes.

As a token of our appreciation, we’ve rounded up just a few of our favorite crime fighting moments from 2015. Enjoy!

Thank you 62…
