So, in the areas where Shomrim are running patrols would people report crime to the police or Shomrim?
And do the police and Shomrim interact?
That's what seemed odd to me. The Shomrim were the force that dealt with law and order, and NYPD just did not want to be involved. I didn't understand what was happening until someone explained it to me.
Yeah I think so. There’s a good relationship between Shomrim and the local cops in Stamford Hill I’m led to believe. They often get to crime scenes quicker than the regular police in the area and do their thing - not sure what that is exactly, take statements, crowd control etc - before the cops show up. I dunno though. Going off second hand reports and the Shomrim twitter account I follow!
