Last night I got to spend time w my friend and personal hero, NYPD 61st Precinct Capt Derby St. Fort. A true servant leader and the embodiment of Tikkun Olam. We Build The Block

He said “we’re outside”

The gang takedown is law enforcement's go-to response for handling violent conflicts between groups of mostly young men. But a commander wants to show that cops don't have to wait to build a case— they can help to steer youth away from violence: nyti.ms/3utsb09

An NYPD captain in Brooklyn is making community-based anti-violence work part of his precinct's crime-fighting strategy, in a sharp departure from decades of aggressive policing that reacted to violence but rarely focused on preventing it. nyti.ms/3rpOG4g

'Instead of taking the police’s usual approach of gathering enough evidence for a gang takedown as the dispute festered, Captain St. Fort decided to do something new with the information he already had: He shared it and asked for help.' - We Build The Block
