Currently in battery park city, we have a separate contract that's supports the contracting of security for the neighborhood. This was a good plan 25 years ago, but it has now become a very expensive contract (range of $2million+). The unit has also been labeled as the Green Nazis and have been harassing the local residents. The show of power and force for a security guard has become out of control. The PEP officers are on record of making sexual advances to a 14 year old girl for 2 years, and when she walked away, the PEP officers would demand the girl to show ID. This is a very dangerous group that needs to be dismantled for the safety of the residents of battery park city .

$2 million for this nonsense is ridiculous. If they're harassing residents and acting like thugs then why are we paying for it at all? Shut it down or strip it back hard.

This has gone way too far. Security should protect people, not intimidate them and waste all that money. Battery Park City deserves better than this mess.
