Commander of Forest Hills’ 112th Precinct transferred to Brooklyn

NYPD Deputy Inspector Daniel Fennessey, the 112th Precinct’s commanding officer, is heading back to Brooklyn. Fennessey said at Community Board 6’s Nov. 12 meeting that he has been transferred to the 77th Precinct, effective Monday, Nov. 16. The reassignment was news to him, too — it became official just an hour or two before the meeting started, he said. “I loved my time in the 112, I really did,” Fennessey told the crowd at Borough Hall. “Great community, great group of people. So I just want to say thank you, everybody, from the bottom of my heart.” He said it was “bittersweet” to leave the 112, which he has led since early 2025, but he is heading back to a familiar area. Per Fennessey’s online officer profile, he has previously served in the 77th Precinct, as well as the 75th and Patrol Borough Brooklyn North. Fennessey did not know who would replace him in Forest Hills, but said it would likely take a few weeks for a new commander to be named.
