The New York City Police Department (NYPD) Police Service Area (PSA) 7 is a specialized unit within the NYPD’s Housing Bureau, focused on public safety in New York City’s public housing developments. Serving primarily the Bronx, PSA 7 works closely with local communities to address crime prevention, emergency response, and community policing needs in NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) properties. Officers assigned to PSA 7 are trained to understand the unique challenges of housing developments and foster strong relationships with residents.

Core to its mission, PSA 7 prioritizes collaboration with tenant associations, community leaders, and youth organizations to build trust and enhance public safety. Through programs like Neighborhood Coordination Officers (NCOs), the command ensures personalized police service and proactive engagement. PSA 7 also participates in initiatives that promote public safety awareness, youth mentorship, and violence prevention. As part of the City’s broader emergency and public safety infrastructure, PSA 7 plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and quality of life for thousands of public housing residents in its jurisdiction.
