“We are preparing for a series of major and overlapping events - the World Cup, the NBA Finals, Sail 250 and, of course, July 4th. Each of these will bring large crowds, complex operations, and significant demands on this department. All of this is happening in a heightened threat environment.”

For more than a month, spooked Staten Islanders have wanted to ask NYPD about local cop James Giovansanti, who collected hundreds of speeding tickets and menaced multiple New Yorkers with his pickup truck - but they'll need to wait at least another month to get any answers after 120th Precinct officials abruptly canceled an upcoming community meeting.

An 18-year-old Brooklyn man was shot and killed Sunday afternoon in Brownsville, police said. The victim, identified by authorities as Quahmir Cruz, was struck in the chest just after 3 p.m. in the vicinity of 375 Blake Avenue and was later pronounced dead at Brookdale Hospital. By Sunday evening, police had not released a description of the shooter or a possible motive.
