Question: According to NYPD statistics, Canarsie's 69th
Precinct's crime rate is among the lowest in the city. What are your feelings
about this?
 | | "I think it's mainly because of youth programs. I was in the Explorers' program at the 69th Precinct with Officer James Johnson. There used to be a lot of crime in Canarsie. But programs and school programs helped put a stop to it."
- Melody Centeno, Canarsie

 | | "Not really. I don't think they are doing a good job. They need more cops out here when the kids get out of school. And they need more cops in front of McDonald's at all times."
|
|
 | | "It's because the mayor's doing a good job; makes sure the police are doing their job. Give the credit to Mayor Bloomberg."
|
|
 | | "I don't see much crime in this area, especially within the past year. If you call the police, they are there. They are reliable."
- Frantz Etienne, Canarsie
