NYPD Police Service Area 4 (PSA 4) is a specialized division of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) dedicated to policing New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments within the confines of Manhattan’s lower east side. As part of the Housing Bureau, PSA 4 focuses specifically on enhancing safety and community well-being within public housing communities through proactive patrol, violence prevention efforts, and community engagement programs. Officers within this command are trained to address the unique challenges often associated with public housing, working closely with residents to build trust and improve quality of life.

PSA 4 emphasizes community policing strategies and regularly collaborates with tenant associations, local youth organizations, and neighborhood leaders to reduce crime and strengthen public trust. The command often participates in outreach initiatives, meetings, and public safety forums to promote safe and inclusive environments across the developments they serve. Additionally, PSA 4 is actively involved in NYPD-led campaigns that focus on youth development and anti-violence education to create long-term positive change.
