Police Service Area 6 is a specialized division of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) dedicated to ensuring the safety and security of residents in public housing developments in Harlem and parts of Upper Manhattan. Focused on community-oriented policing, PSA 6 works collaboratively with tenant associations, local organizations, and residents to build trust and proactively address public safety issues. Officers are trained in neighborhood-specific concerns, allowing them to develop strong relationships and respond more effectively to local needs.
PSA 6 places a strong emphasis on visibility, accessibility, and prevention, using foot patrols and regular outreach initiatives to deter crime and serve as approachable points of contact for the community. The precinct also offers crime prevention workshops, youth engagement programs, and participates in city-wide safety campaigns. Their commitment to fostering open communication and partnership with the public reflects the NYPD’s broader Neighborhood Policing philosophy.
