Harlem Police Captain Sealy Aims to Build Goodwill
Harlem Captain Lloyd Sealy, the first Black head of a Harlem precinct, spends weeks meeting residents and white officers to explain the community and humanize policing. At the 2nd Precinct covering half a square mile with 82,000 residents, 300 patrolmen are about 80 percent white as he works to ease tensions and address nuisance issues. Sealy urges residents to greet officers and officers to understand local concerns from profanity to dice games, hoping to foster a real community police presence. He was appointed August 14 after meetings with Negro leaders and city officials following July riots, and is among 37 Black officers recently transferred to Harlem.
