 Captain Thomas M. Hogan Police Service Area #4 is located at the corner of Ave C and East 8th Street. The PSA #4 covers (23) New York City Housing Developments in the 5th, 7th, 9th, and 10th Police Precincts. PSA #4 serves nearly 40,000 residents. Commanding Officer's Message I'd like to first take the opportunity to thank all of our community members for their support throughout the year. It was this support that helped us keep crime down this past year. These dramatic decreases in crime would not have been possible without the cooperation of the police and community working together. The Officers at PSA 4 are working hard to make your community a safer place to live and will make every effort to continue the decreases in crime that we have experienced. I look forward to working with our community in making PSA 4 an even safer place to live. |  | ||||||||||||||

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. Vehicle stops are made during the hours of 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., on the basis of two identifying decals affixed to both rear and side windows of the automobile. 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. Its aim is to combat auto thefts by providing the Police Department with reasonable suspicion necessary to conduct a vehicle stop and investigation whenever a person apparently under the age of twenty- five (25) is observed operating a vehicle bearing HEAT decals. Owners of motor vehicles who are New York City residents and are above the age of forty (40) may participate in this program. Operation Identification for Vehicles — The program "Operation Identification for Vehicles" involves marking car radios and other valuable parts with a pen that utilizes invisible ink; this ink can only be seen under "black ultraviolet light" which can be used to identify stolen auto parts.
