Reply A clergy group will help law enforcement reach young at-risk Brooklynites in certain neighborhoods, including in Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights. (Brooklyn DA's Office.) BROOKLYN, NY — Brooklyn's fight against an ongoing surge in gun violence will get a boost from a local "God Squad," according to officials. The Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced Tuesday that his office will partner with a local NYPD precinct's Clergy Council, known as "The GodSquad," to help reach at-risk youth in certain neighborhoods throughout the borough. The initiative will target precincts with high levels of crime where gun violence has surged in the past year, including all four precincts that cover Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights, according to the announcement.
