Commanding Officer's Message I would like to take this opportunity to extend our best wishes to all the PSA6 Council Members, Residents of Public Housing, Resident Leaders, and New York City Housing Authority employees. Since taking command of PSA 6, I have met and interacted with a large number of our residents and Resident Association Leaders, gaining an appreciation for the concerns and problems of the people who make public housing their home. I would especially like to thank the PSA 6 Community Council, Resident Associations, Resident Patrol Volunteers, Development Managers and COP Chairs for assisting me in becoming acclimated to the special problems of our residents and for their support of our crime fighting initiatives. I sincerely believe that together we can continue to improve the quality of life in our developments for the residents and their families. |  | ||||||||||||||

Anti-Auto Theft Program — The Combat Auto Theft (C.A.T.) Program is a voluntary decal program which entails a more aggressive police response to auto theft by authorizing investigative stops of participating vehicles.

Operation Commuter C.A.T. — This program operates the same way as the one above. The only difference is you register your vehicle at the precinct where the vehicle will be parked during business hours. Owners will sign a consent form, which certifies to the Department that the auto is not operated between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Help End Auto Theft Program (H.E.A.T.) — H.E.A.T. Is a volunteer decal program, operational twenty-four (24) hours a day.
