NYPD officials say the department’s new neighborhood policing model will allow beat cops more time to develop relationships with the communities they serve and better respond to emergency calls.

Commissioner William Bratton and other officials presented the first in-depth details of the plan during a meeting of clergy Tuesday at police headquarters.

The personnel and patrol changes will also allow more officers to proactively settle complaints.

Mayor Bill de Blasio (dih BLAH’-zee-oh) told the crowd the new model will enable more officers to better get to know their precincts.

In announcing a budget deal Monday night, the first-term Democrat said nearly 1,300 new officers will be hired in addition to 400 civilian posts.
