Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) has established a special “police desk” in his district office to assist constituents who have registered a complaint with the 66th precinct and wish to ensure that a report concerning that complaint was actually filed. The move comes in the wake of recent news reports that the 66th precinct failed to follow-up on a civilian’s complaint concerning David Flores, a pedophile in Boro Park, who ultimately shot four members of the Boro Park Shomrim last month.
“I have great respect for the commanding officer of the 66th precinct and the NYPD in general,” Hikind said. “But there have been several instances where constituents have asked for my intervention in getting a report filed or an officer to take a complaint. The Flores incident is just one example where the system failed. There needs to be some kind of a back-up plan to make certain that vital information is being transmitted to and acted upon by the police. I am hopeful that my office will be that conduit.”
Constituents who wish to verify that a report was filed with the 66th precinct are advised to contact Dov Cohen at Assemblyman Hikind’s office: 718.853.9616.

But how does that solve the problem of Community Board #12 and there influence over the 66th precinct?
I had an experiance where I went to file a complaint with the 66 and they let me wait a long time and finally a detective came out and told me that it is not a crime, however when I went to the DA they said that it is a crime and they took it seriously.
