Missing your local blotter? The long-standing tradition of station houses giving local reporters access to incident reports for blotters was abruptly halted in early December by NYPD headquarters and since then only six of the precincts we cover have resumed cooperating. If you would like your local precinct to provide crime report information to our reporters, you can make your views known to your precinct’s community affairs officer or attend its next community council meeting. Contact community affairs to confirm when the next meeting will be.
