49th Precinct domestic violence officers stepping up

Bronx Times

With one of the best domestic violence departments in the entire city, the 49th Precinct has honored one of their own for her above par work over the last four months.

Officer Jackie Pagan, who worked as a patrol officer up until July, was named the 49th Precinct Cop of the Month in September for the number of arrests she had made since she was promoted to the 49th’s Domestic Violence Department in July.

On Tuesday, October 25, Pagan was honored at the 49th Precinct Community Council meeting at the Morris Park Community Association.

It was fitting that Pagan was awarded for her efforts during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. She was humbled as she received her honor in front of other officers, members of the community and, her family.

“It’s wonderful to be honored just for doing what you love to do. It’s a great feeling being able to work in the domestic violence department,” Pagan said. “As a patrol officer, you just do you job and that’s it. As an officer in the domestic violence department, you really feel like you’re helping people who just need someone to talk to and I love being able to help.”

Pagan, who previously worked with the 44th Precinct, transferred to the 49th in July 2006. After working five years as a patrol officer, Pagan was promoted to the domestic violence department where she teamed up with officer Charlie Cadiz.

Since July, Pagan has made 22 arrests in domestic violence complaints.

“She has been great, an absolute pleasure to work with in this department,” Cadiz said. “She adjusted well immediately, she is a fast learner and is able to get along very well with all of the people that we deal with when we receive domestic violence complaints.”

According to Deputy Inspector Kevin Nicholson, he was notified that statistically, the 49th Precinct has recently emerged as the best in the entire city.

“Our Domestic Violence Department is the best, and I’m not just saying that because these are my officers,” Nicholson said. “Police Officer Pagan, in conjunction with the entire department, is doing a beyond exceptional job and I am proud to be able to have them on our team.”

Angela from Morris Ave/167: work GranConcourse/E.Tremont: home says:
It's so needed thank you so much. It must be hard. Because we women, Dominican, Puerto Rican, all and it is of no matter our nationalality, watch Dominican men here Sorry it is true, and so sad I have to admit it. Dominican men, worse are ones like a 29 year old who I work with, he's here 8 years & doesn't speak English, and he says he doesn't care. He has a 8 yr old daughter in Santo Domingo, but I watch him seem so nice - especially the Boricuas born here & don't know who is who. One of the best girls so nice who helps us, I am tired of hearing what he & his type say about the pretty Boricua lady. He got her pregnant, she thought he was the most kindest guy, but he is empregnating 2 other girls. Why can they just act like the women no exist? And get RAGE FILLED because the women's keep trying to talk with them! This one says he told the Boricua she not pregnant! And then say she can "mmt" his male parts its like the cruelest thing to say to show hes calling her a whore too. He screaming because he say sorry then call her over and over please I need to see you. She was late and say she's a liar again but when she I saw her crying typing messages because he said next day come to him NOW. I hear the cousin say she was so upset from EMOCIONAL its abuse too! and need sleep he told her to go eg off don't call him or text no more. They play games and PLEASE TEACH THEM TO TALK, HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH ALL THIS? Her dad got sick because he ignored her for a month about the abortion. I want to tell someone about him and others. They say they don't have to do anything, too bad the pretty one is crying, he said he still made her have sex with him. But she's wrong and annoying to try to COMMUNICATE! ARE THERE PROGRAMS TO TEACH THESE GUYS - THIS ONE AT MY MARKET HAS A DAUGHTER IMAGINE WHEN A GUY DOES WHAT HE DOES? Then make sure they lie to people what's going on so we women still call crazy and like we want them. No! We want to know how and why THEY PLAY THE GAMES again. Why don't they know or care they hurt good people, health and emocionly, they can't handle how the guy say sorry, I need you, lies so much and is forgiven. Does it again after and I have been throuht it too but I'm Dominican and get it. They here illegal most, like I sure no English 8 years in Morris Ave supermarket, only 29? Come on. See, the girls cannot find them because like this one, do such mean things, he have to erase his Facebook! And tells girls his name is not what it is. I thought here because you guys really help, that they are looked into more. They love it here because they work, get benefits, get women like the Boricua - omg she is like a model. And he like most know how to play the mind and heart of a good woman. I wished I told her no never go out with him. I'm very sad today because I even heard guys yesterday, talking about other women just so. And laugh. They say tell the b*** to callate la boca y gritan, SCREAM, NO MORE FROM YOU, I DON'T TALK TO YOU CUZ I DON'T WANNA HEAR YOUR S** AND DON'T HAVE TO. GIRLS ARE KILLING THEMSELVES NOW EVEN! PLEASE COME TO THE BUSINESSES TO TEACH THEM HERE WE CAME FOR GOOD LIVES AWAY FROM EVIL PEOPLE. MACHO Y TIGRE NO EXCUSE. this all beyond that's though. We women say it is torture. I think men feel so cool because they are worse here. But nobody talks about this. Remember the girl who was killed for not shutting up? THESE GUYS REALLY BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE RIGHTS TO SCREAM, CALL NAMES, AND NOT CARE LIKE WHY YOU TELL THIS PRETTY BORICUA WAIT I HEAR HIM, I'LL CALL YOU SO WE CAN TALK. THEN WATCH AFTER WORK HE SHOWS FRIENDS TONS OF MESSAGES FROM HER BECAUSE HE DOESN'T CALL EVERY DAY. She never knew he went to the DR for New Years. Left and girl waiting because she believes all his messages for like a week he will call every day. They get drunk I see cocaine and weed, oh yes its great here. I can't take its worseer now. Man don't have to beat you - those scars from emocional you cannot see are I believe worse. Our girls and women suffer in silence. The women don't even want them back just why and how. Like when did you do all this, and so kind and humble again, the men get forgiven. And do it again. Now I watch a next one with this actor. He real quiet, nice, he's light but not white, he's like Italians color. He knows it because cops never look at him. I don't want to live in the Bronx anymore. The boys learning worse, girls treated like you don't treat animals. Please I don't know how to help, to call because if I say my real name they'll kill me, is a haven - I learned that word. So they sell drugs real quiet, bad fake businesses and get real USA identity from fake stuff. Nobody talks. I am legal and it is harder and much money, I learn English though! Sniffing drugs, selling after work I'm not stupid. Some guy a trinitario said police all paid off, Dominican cops don't bother them and people know they gonna get machete if taell. Yeah well look at the murder and drugs and degrading I believe is the word, of all women and girls. I cried hearing this one laugh the pretty nice Boricua? He made her finish having sex with him even though she's crying because head game he changes and says she's not pregnant and screaming stop asking me to look at doctors papers sonogram you're full of *** Then blocks her. That's like rape and women need to know it is too. They can at least then have some protection and Mr untouchable maybe gets arrested, and has to listen to all and learn why and what he's doing he cannot. Thank you for your time. I maybe can email you Officer? Oh congrsdulations for outstanding service and getting the award of the year. Ivwish I could work there.
