Public Safety Report Lobby Attendants are the EYES and EARS of the CCPD BY LIEUTENANT PAM APOLLO The Co-op City Department of Public Safety utilizes the Lobby Attendant Program as one of the tools to help keep the community safe. Co-op City’s 65 lobbies are manned by lobby attendants during the hours of 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday and from 4 p.m. and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. This coverage is provided by a current total of 70 lobby attendants and 3 supervisors. When each lobby attendant comes on duty, they set up their podium and notify Public Safety that they are present. The lobby attendant proceeds to conduct an inspection of the lobby. This inspection includes the elevators, doors and windows. They are responsible for noting any broken items, malfunctioning equipment or hazardous conditions. Any deficiencies are noted in the log book and Public Safety is notified. During the course of their tour of duty, a lobby attendant is responsible to monitor the lobby for illegal activity or violations of the lease. Illegal activities include any crimes, Disorderly Conduct, Trespassing, and Public Consumption of Alcohol or Use of Controlled Substances. Violations of the lease monitored by the lobby attendant include smoking, loitering, bike riding and dogs. Public Safety is to be notified when any violations of the law or lease are observed. Log book entries documenting this notification are also to be made. All lobby attendants are responsible to maintain an up-to-date log book. In this log book, all inspections, referrals and notifications are recorded. All move-ins, move-outs, deliveries and other visitors are entered into the log book. Public Safety is to be notified if a move-in or move-out does not have a valid permit. Log book entries are also made when Public Safety, New York City Police Department, Fire Department or any other authorized agency enters the building. Public Safety is to be notified if there is any question regarding allowing access to any party. The lobby attendant must also make entries in the log book when leaving post for any reason, such as a meal period or a break. Lobby attendants are not authorized to receive mail, packages or any other deliveries. Lobby attendants are not required to hold or open the front door except in the event of a disabled person or elderly person carrying packages. Residents are required to utilize their key for entry into the building. Lobby attendants are not permitted to run errands or perform outside jobs for cooperators or other Riverbay employees. Lobby attendants are not permitted to leave their assigned area without permission. Engaging in unnecessary conversation is also against the rules. Lobby attendants may not identify themselves as Public Safety officers, police officers or security officers. Lobby attendants are not permitted to arrest or detain violators. In the event a violation of the lease or the law is observed, it is the responsibility of the lobby attendant to notify the Department of Public Safety. As the “civilian” EYES and EARS of the Co-op City Department of Public Safety, the lobby attendants essentially serve to reduce crime and maintain a high quality of life within the community. By being aware of the duties and responsibilities of the lobby attendants, residents can feel comfortable with the extra (Continued on page 30)
