New York City Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch have announced the expansion of the NYPD’s Quality of Life Teams (Q-Teams) to every precinct in Brooklyn, following a successful pilot program that began in April. This initiative, designed to tackle everyday public safety issues, has already responded to over 23,400 quality-of-life-related calls citywide.

The Q-Team program focuses on non-emergency concerns that affect residents’ daily lives—like illegal mopeds and scooters, abandoned vehicles, homeless encampments, outdoor drug use, and persistent noise complaints. With the expansion now reaching Brooklyn, Q-Teams are active in Manhattan and the Bronx, and are scheduled to roll out across Queens, Staten Island, and NYCHA housing by the end of August.
