Who Are Your Neighborhood Coordination Officers?

The Neighborhood Coordination Officer Program, which assigns officers to a specific sector instead of having them respond to one police call after another, has settled into the 52nd Precinct. These officers are embedded into the communities, serving as a familiar face for the NYPD. Each officer is equipped with an NYPD-issued phone intended to call them when a nagging issue arises.

Each precinct taking part in the NCO program is now divided into four sectors: A, B, C, and D as indicated on the map to the left. Below is a list of each sector, the neighborhoods they cover, and the names and phone numbers of each NCO officer patrolling that respective sector should there be a problem brewing in the neighborhood they cover.

Sector 52A (University Heights, West Fordham Road): P.O. Reuben Shaw, (917) 863-2914 and P.O. Sean Kinane, (917) 863-7653.

Sector 52B (East Fordham Road, Kingsbridge Heights): P.O. Joseph Ross, (917) 863-5822 and P.O. Eric Salisbury, (917) 863-6832.

Sector 52C (Kingsbridge Heights, Bedford Park, Norwood’s north side): P.O. Patrick Horkan, (917) 689-9640 and P.O. McMorrow (917) 865-0982.

ctor 52D (virtually all of Norwood): P.O. Marie Reilly-Derasmo, (929) 499-7027, and P.O. Paul White, (917) 863-6795.

Officers are not working around the clock, so there will be a little bit of waiting to get in touch with them. The 52nd Precinct’s phone number is (718) 220-5811.

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.
