Treyger bill would put social workers in precincts
Councilmember Mark Treyger (D-Coney Island-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) has introduced a bill that would mandate that a social worker be assigned to wok in every police precinct in the city.
Treyger, who pointed out that the city has social workers at schools and hospitals, said the social workers at precincts could offer assistance with cases involving immigration, gender and identity status, child care and the procurement of medical care.
