Hi, and welcome to our website. I am Det. Ruben Cotto, and I am the 34th Pct. Auxiliary Coordinator. For fourteen years I’ve served as a police officer here in the 34th Pct. For eight of those years, I served as the coordinator of this unit. In my time as coordinator, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of people: some lawyers, teachers, carpenters, nurses, doctors, professors, students, etc. All of whom have the same goal of helping to improve the quality of life in their communities by becoming Auxiliary Police Officers.

I enjoy working with my unit and would not change anything. I have a great supervisory staff that I work closely with to maintain the smooth operation of the unit. Our Goal is to aid in the reduction of crime and to improve upon our “Quality of Life” in this community, all the while building on the superb police-community relationship that already exists. I know that together, we will work hard at creating new relationships and enhancing the trust between our officers and the community we serve.
