NYC councilman Jimmy Vacca (D-Bronx) says the 45th Precinct has the lowest crime rate in the Bronx and possiblu in the entire city.
During an exclusive interview with City Island Images, Vacca said “NYPD's 45th Precinct is leading the way in New York City, and I give much of that credit to Captain Russel Green. He’s involved in every quality of life problem we have. He is hands on and extremely involved in the day-to-day work.”

Have you ever noticed how some people can walk into a room and everyone's attention is drawn towards them? Or when an individual speaks, most everyone stops to listen?
It's called charisma, and either you've either got it or you don't. But for those who "don't, there's still hope.
Of course judging whether a person has charisma is all in the eye of the beholder, and millions of television viewers seem to agree that Judge Judy Sheindlin has it is spades. The former stay-at-home mom and Bronx family court prosecutor made the right decision when she made the move to the bench.
