How many Patrol Boroughs does the NYPD have?

• A. 8
• B. 7
• C. 9
• D. 6

Answer: (A)

Patrol Boroughs are the main geographic command units the NYPD uses to organize patrol operations and supervision across the city. There are eight Patrol Boroughs in total. The NYPD divides four boroughs into North and South sections—Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens—giving two Patrol Boroughs for each of those boroughs. This setup lets each area have focused leadership, tailored deployment, and coordinated crime-prevention efforts across multiple precincts. Staten Island isn’t counted as a separate Patrol Borough in this scheme, so it doesn’t add to the total.
