Police Precincts
Although many precincts cover areas solely within one
City Council district, there are many which overlap with
other districts. In most cases the overlap of precincts
among districts is no more than a few blocks. Wherever
there is overlap, we have made sure to alert you.
- 42nd Precinct
- 44th Precinct (Covers parts of district 14 and 16)
