"Patrol boroughs are NYPD commands that manage local police precinct operations and supervise uniformed officer operations. There are currently eight patrol boroughs in the city, but to date, just the Bronx and Staten Island have one patrol borough each for its respective precincts. Tisch said that will change for the Bronx starting this spring. The NYPD will create Patrol Boroughs Bronx North and Bronx South to manage the eight precincts covering the borough's operations."
"More than just mere operational restructuring, Tisch added that the NYPD will bring in almost 200 additional police officers to the borough. These cops will be utilized by adding specialized units into the borough, including homicide squad detectives, evidence collection teams, narcotics teams, Neighborhood Safety Teams, and auto crime units. Tisch explained that splitting the Bronx patrol borough into two was about increasing safety and finally bringing the borough of 1.4 million residents up to the same level of policing as Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens,"
Starting this spring, the NYPD will split the Bronx into two patrol boroughs, Bronx North and Bronx South, to manage the eight precincts. The department will add almost 200 officers and deploy specialized units including homicide detectives, evidence collection teams, narcotics teams, Neighborhood Safety Teams, and auto crime units. The change aims to raise policing parity with Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, each of which have two patrol boroughs. The Bronx, with 1.4 million residents, has experienced higher crime per capita and had been operating under a single-borough structure that limited deployment and oversight.
