Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) has established a special �police desk� in his district office to assist constituents who have registered a complaint with the 66th precinct and wish to ensure that a report concerning that complaint was actually filed. The move comes in the wake of recent news reports that the 66th precinct failed to follow-up on a civilian�s complaint concerning David Flores, a pedophile in Boro Park, who ultimately shot four members of the Boro Park Shomrim last month.
�I have great respect for the commanding officer of the 66th precinct and the NYPD in general,� Hikind said. �But there have been several instances where constituents have asked for my intervention in getting a report filed or an officer to take a complaint. The Flores incident is just one example where the system failed. There needs to be some kind of a back-up plan to make certain that vital information is being transmitted to and acted upon by the police. I am hopeful that my office will be that conduit.�
Constituents who wish to verify that a report was filed with the 66th precinct are advised to contact Dov Cohen at Assemblyman Hikind�s office: 718.853.9616.

But how does that solve the problem of Community Board #12 and there influence over the 66th precinct?
I had an experiance where I went to file a complaint with the 66 and they let me wait a long time and finally a detective came out and told me that it is not a crime, however when I went to the DA they said that it is a crime and they took it seriously.
