Dear Fellow Readers,

It’s that time again! The latest edition of Norwood News is out, featuring plenty of community news you can use!

We begin, of course, with the front page story on a new program rolled out by the 52nd Precinct dubbed the Neighborhood Coordination Officer program. Find out how this program, in the works for nearly a year, can do with improve the fraught relationship between the community and police. On page 2 you’ll find our take on what can make the program a true success.

More inside-the-cover stories include the latest in several key political races in the north Bronx, including a blow-by-blow narrative piece on a debate with the crowded field of candidates for the 13th Congressional District that was featured on BronxNet.

Of course, the Norwood News won’t be the same without its mainstays–Neighborhood Notes, Inquiring Photographer (this one focusing on the aftermath of the Orlando, Fla. shootings), and Out & About–in the pages of our neighborhood paper. We also showcase some happenings via photos in our Norwood News Snapshots section.

So take a look at the latest edition of the Norwood News and, as usual, share thoughts with me, David Cruz, editor-in-chief of the paper, by emailing me at dcruz@norwoodnews.org.

Til next time!

David
