The Cobble Hill Association welcomes our local police precinct’s new Captain Jeffrey Schiff. Born on Henry Street and having already served as second in command at the 76th precinct just a few years ago, Captain Schiff is bound for success and presided over his first community council meeting last week.

I’m looking to continue some of the great traditions that already exist and improve on other areas that need work….I don’t have that many officers,” said Captain Schiff. “I have to make do with what I have. So what can I do? I can make use of my community, who have eyes everywhere—including the mailman who walks up and down the street every day. So I’m looking to expand the communication and that existing intelligence. That way, we can take the guesswork out of police work.”
