Local Guide to the New York City Police department

Police precincts
Each patrol borough is composed of precincts. Each precinct is responsible for safety and law enforcement within a designated geographic area. Police units based in these precincts patrol and respond to emergencies.

Staten Island currently has three precincts: the 120, 122, and 123. A 122 satellite precinct opened in December 2005 adjacent to the Staten Island Mall on Richmond Avenue. Currently, the department is planning on breaking ground in April 2009 for a fourth precinct for the Island, which will be the 121 precinct, and plans on breaking ground in 2014 for a brand new building for the 120 precinct to replace the current building.

Queens South began operating a satellite for the large 105 precinct in the southern part of the precinct next to the Rosedale LIRR station in July 2007. This building was, until then, the quarters for the Queens South Task Force, the Queens South Auto-Larceny Unit, the Queens South Anti-Crime Unit, the Queens South Evidence Collection Team and the Detective Bureau's Queens Major Case Squad.
