About Us
Protecting, Serving, and Strengthening Flatbush
Flatbush Shomrim Safety Patrol (FSSP)
We are committed to ensuring the safety and protection of our community. With unwavering dedication, we work tirelessly to reduce crime, ease fear, and ensure the safety and well-being of every resident. More than just a safety patrol, we are a force for good—neighbors looking out for neighbors, ready to respond when it matters most.
For over 33 years, FSSP has been a pillar of security and support in the Greater Flatbush community. Our highly trained volunteers stand on the front lines, responding to crime, locating missing persons, assisting domestic violence victims, and offering a helping hand in times of crisis. But our mission goes beyond emergency response—we foster awareness, engage youth through safety initiatives, and build lasting partnerships with law enforcement, emergency services, and community organizations.
