A month ago, Police from Eastern Division, combining the efforts of all 4 precincts, launched the operation, "Not in My City". It was the effort to try to curb the recent spike in violence in the City.
Since then, the officers have been diligently on the streets keeping up with the enforcement, and today, the Deputy OCED, Sr. Superintendent Edward Broaster, gave us an update. He gave us the metrics of how many successful arrests and seizures were made.
Here's what he told us:
Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster, Deputy Commander - Eastern Division
"The operation Not In My City has been very successful. We've made quite significant number of arrests as it pertains to quality of life crimes.
