41st Precinct, New York City Police Department
The 41st Precinct of the New York City Police Department (NYPD) is a police precinct serving the southern Bronx neighborhoods of Hunts Point and Longwood in New York City. The precinct's current station house is located at 1035 Longwood Avenue. Originally headquartered at 1086 Simpson Street, the 41st earned the nickname "Fort Apache" during the 1970s when the South Bronx faced extreme levels of violent crime, arson, and drug epidemics. The moniker reflected the feeling among officers that the station house was like an isolated outpost under siege, which was popularized by the 1981 film Fort Apache, The Bronx, starring Paul Newman. In 1993, the NYPD moved the precinct to its current Longwood Avenue facility, marking a symbolic break from the "Fort Apache" era. This move coincided with a dramatic, citywide drop in crime and a transition toward community-oriented policing.
