Local Clergy Members Meet With Precinct Commander
“The purpose of the meeting,” Captain Monteforte said, “is to keep our religious leaders informed about crime, logistics, different and advanced methods we are using, and which we will be using in the future, and generally keeping them up on what’s happening in the community.” Greeted by more than a score of interdenominational clerics who lauded his efforts, the affable precinct commander, accompanied by Commu-nity Affairs Detective Dady Belfort, met with them on December 13 at the Foster Avenue station house. On a large, central screen, he showed a number of graphics depicting recent crime statistics in areas around certain churches, synagogues and religious meeting places here.
As in previous meetings, the members of the clergy promised their cooperation wherever necessary and Cap-tain Monteforte assured them the pre-cinct officers would be available to them “anytime.”
