After 15 years in the NYPD, Community Affairs Officer Scott Adelman, of the 102nd Precinct, has retired. His last day was on Aug. 5, during National Night Out Against Crime, where he was celebrated by his fellow officers, elected officials and the community he served.
Prior to community affairs, Adelman, who amassed 324 career arrests, was a neighborhood community officer, an anti-crime and plain clothes officer, a conditions officer and a patrol officer. He also spent time at the 75th Precinct in Brooklyn before joining the 102 in 2012. And, before joining the NYPD, he spent more than 14 years as an FDNY EMT.
Adelman was lauded by his peers as someone who was always available and ready to lend a hand to anyone in need.
