Public Safety Officers
The Public Safety Officer is the public face of the Times Square Alliance. PSOs work to carry out the mission of the Public Safety & Quality of Life Division on the street, and in doing so have three areas of responsibility:
- Contribute to public safety in the District.
- Observe and report conditions and problems in the District.
- Provide helpful and accurate information to visitors.
PSOs work to provide and enhance public safety by providing a visible presence that is a deterrent to crime, and by reporting criminal activity or disorderly conduct. PSOs also support counter-terrorism activities by remaining alert for suspicious activity. PSOs respond to accidents or other emergency situations and are responsible for notifying and aiding as necessary New York City emergency personnel. PSOs also assist with crowd control, at both planned and unplanned events, and during emergency situations.
While on patrol PSOs are responsible for monitoring the aesthetics of the District by reporting unsightly conditions or any condition that is unsafe or hazardous. As part of their routine duties PSOs make follow-up observations of reported conditions, contributing to their speedy repair.
PSOs are expected to maintain a helpful and courteous demeanor with the public. A primary responsibility of PSOs is to provide visitors (and residents) with information about the District, such as directions to a specific location, establishment, or event.
PSOs are the Alliance’s eyes and ears on the street and are expected to observe and report any changes or interesting, unusual, or suspicious activity. For example, PSOs are expected to notice and report new businesses or construction activity. While on patrol, PSOs monitor street activity for compliance with city regulations, reporting those in violation and taking corrective action if possible (for example requesting illegally positions vendors and peddlers to move). PSOs collaborate on programs to work with the homeless and people who are emotionally disturbed, and monitor their presence in the District.
