A routine Thursday in Williamsburg ended with NYPD officers pulling two loaded guns and a sizable haul of narcotics off the streets, according to police. The bust was announced in a brief social media post from the neighborhood precinct, which shared only limited details and did not specify what drugs were seized or whether any arrests were made. Officials framed the recovery as part of ongoing efforts to keep the area safe.

How field intelligence teams operate
Field intelligence officers are assigned to individual precincts to gather and share information that helps home in on narcotics, firearms and other criminal activity. The NYPD’s Intelligence Bureau describes Field Intelligence Officers as ranking uniformed officers in each command who “collect and disseminate criminal intelligence information” to support both quick-hit operations and longer-term investigations, according to the NYPD Intelligence Bureau.

The 90th Precinct covers the northwestern slice of Brooklyn that includes Williamsburg. The NYPD maintains a public page for the command that lists contact information and outlines its boundaries.
