The City Police Department’s Patrol Borough Queens South division on Monday hosted a public forum at PS/IS 270 in Laurelton in preparation for the opening of the newest 116th Precinct, which will serve residents of Southeast Queens.
The attendees had the opportunity to meet the NYPD executive candidates who are in the running to serve as their newest commanding officer.
The 116 will be located at 244-04 North Conduit Ave. in Rosedale. It’s the City’s first new precinct since 2013, and the result of decades of advocacy from committed community groups in the area, which had previously been served by just one command (105th Precinct) in the 265-mile stretch of blocks from Middle Village to John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Police brass on Monday promised residents that the 116 will open before the end of the year.
