Bratton Visits Monroe College

NYPD top cop Bill Bratton stopped by Monroe College’s School of Criminal Justice during a meeting of the Latino Officers Association on Feb. 25. Bratton spoke before an audience of 275 guests, discussing topics that included stop-and-frisk while taking questions on the impact of community policing. “That is such an essential element of what we need to do,” said Bratton. “We the police can’t do it by ourselves. We need to do it in partnership. A lot of the trust we lost because of the stop, question and frisk is so critical because if they don’t talk with us, trust us to use information, we can’t do it by ourselves.” Photo courtesy Monroe College — NYPD top cop Bill Bratton stopped by Monroe College’s School of Criminal Justice during a meeting of the Latino Officers Association on Feb. 25.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
