Rocah was joined by local police officials and Jacqueline Maguire, acting assistant director-in-charge of the FBI in New York, who said that the collaboration was necessary because no one agency, no one department, no one neighborhood can fight violent crime alone. We will fish with a spear, not a net, and we will focus on those who terrorize our neighborhoods through their senseless acts, Maguire said.
The result, Rocah said, will be more resources for each of the city police departments, regular meetings among them and an approach to enforcement that will strategize when state or federal prosecution – or both – is best.
