What problem would you like to solve?

I would like to be able to go wherever I want in the city by public transportation or walk without fear of being attacked in any way.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Police need to be visible (not plain clothes) police walking in the neighborhoods and patrolling as they did years ago.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Hire more police to patrol on foot and be visible.

Who would that help?

Be aware of the problems in the neighborhood and report.

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

Everyone
