Vaad Hakohel Meets with 71st Precinct Leadership
On Thursday, the Vaad Hakohel/CHJCC Board members met with the 71st Precinct’s new Commanding Officer, Deputy Inspector Perez, along with Sgt. Beretta and their team. We congratulated the Deputy Inspector on his recent promotion and welcomed the opportunity to begin building strong working relationships with him and his staff.
The meeting focused on preparing for the upcoming Tishrei season, community safety in Crown Heights, and collaboration with local partners such as Shmira, Shomrim, Hatzalah, and CHJCC. Together, we are working to expand community access to security resources and develop long-term strategies to keep our neighborhood safe.
We also expressed our deep appreciation to the Deputy Inspector and his team for their ongoing dedication and service. We encourage community members to thank our officers whenever they see them, small gestures that help strengthen these vital relationships.
We are excited about this new chapter of partnership with the 71st Precinct and look forward to continued collaboration for the betterment of our community.
