Stop and Frisk: Brooklyn tops NYPD lists for most and least by neighborhoods
Looking to avoid being stopped and frisked by the NYPD? Try moving to Bay Ridge.
The NYPD released a report this week on its controversial stop-and-frisk procedure that breaks down information by precinct and by race. The 68th Precinct that patrols Bay Ridge had the least amount of stops in the city in 2011 with just 2,890 incidents, according to the report.
The report includes statistics from the year 2011, when there were 685,724 stop-and-frisks in total. Brooklyn was right at the forefront with both the most heavily stopped neighborhoods – Brownsville, East New York, and Cypress Hills – and also with the least stopped neighborhood, Bay Ridge.
