Hi All, Great news from the 108th Precinct! Captain Travaglia wants us to know that the NYPD nuisance abated Cityscapes, 55-61 58th Street in Maspeth last night. They will be closed until further notice. They have a court date in regards at Supreme Court. Job well done!!! Roe Daraio, President Comet Civic Association www.cometcivic.com |
FYI from 108th Precinct - Please don't leave anything in your vehicle and LOCK your doors, even if you'll be gone for a minute!!
Roe _______________________________________________ In the vicinity of 50 & 64 St an unidentified perpetrator did remove $40 USC, Sunglasses worth $350 and a Chase Sapphire Visa Card from an unlocked vehicle. This constitutes a Grand Larceny, a felony, due to the credit card being stolen. I will leave the crime prevention tips this week to Capt Wacther and Capt Mackie at the 104th Precinct. Capt Travaglia, 108 Pct On behalf of the New York City Police Department and the 108Pct I want to thank you all for coming. The outpouring of support from this community is a true indication of the united partnership that we are all committed to. We in this community are a model, a beacon of light in the darkness, for the rest of this city to follow. We are a united community which is always striving for better.
The tragic deaths of P.O. Rafael Ramos and P.O. Wenjian Liu shock the conscience. It is tough for someone like me with 22 years in law enforcement to comprehend. It is even tougher for our families to understand and of course for the community we serve to understand. But this is what gets us through: It is the knowledge that our brothers and sisters in blue will never forget us. It is also the knowledge that you the community will embrace and care for the loved ones we leave behind. Police work is one of the toughest professions out there that comes at great risk. But with great risk comes great reward. The satisfaction that comes from this line of work cannot be calculated monetarily. Most of us in this profession treat it as a vocation, a calling. P.O. Rafael Ramos and P.O. Wenjian Liu knew the risks of this profession and I know these brothers of mine experienced the reward. In the early morning hours of9/11/2001 I was a sergeant in the Highway Patrol. I was assigned to desk duty and I was attempting to account for the whereabouts of the officers in my command. My eyes were watery and my throat had a lump in it. I was barely functioning when a 35 year member of the service grabbed me and looked me straight in the eyes. He said “Keep it together, we are the police. We will get through this. We have no choice.” That we did. Today, I tell you as a community. We will get through these dark times. We have no choice. All of us are part of this great New York City community. We are the police. WE ARE YOUR POLICE. I wish eternal rest upon P.O. Rafael Ramos and P.O. Wenjian Liu. The work we will do from this day on will celebrate their lives forever. Captain John Travaglia Commanding Officer, 108 Precinct Hi All,
Captain Travaglia, 108th Precinct, reached out to let us know that two burglaries occurred in Winfield/Woodside during nighttime hours Monday/Tuesday. These burglaries occurred the night of our meeting right after we sent out the Alert about the 104th Precinct burglaries!
In case you deleted our email about the 104th Precinct burglary pattern, I'm including it again. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that there are similarities. Captain Manson told us they have identified a burglary pattern in our area.
Roe Daraio, President Comet Civic Association www.cometcivic.com Hi All,
Captain Manson, 104th Precinct, called to alert us about two crimes in our area. He also mentioned that Captain Travaglia has been transferred to the 114th Precinct. This is devastating news! He knew all the problems in our community and helped with our traffic and parking problems. Captain Brown will be the new Executive Officer and will be introducing himself to us. Hopefully he will pick up where Captain T left off. More bad news!
