He investigated terror attacks in India and Turkey, gathered intelligence in the Middle East, and commanded an NYPD unit that sniffs out police corruption.

But as the new commanding officer of the 50th Precinct, Capt. Brandon del Pozo’s concerns have changed — from suicide bombings and dirty cops to auto crime and noise complaints.

Not that he minds the change in pace.

“I think the residents in the 50th Precinct feel that it’s a very safe place, and we want to keep it that way,” said Capt. del Pozo, 35, who replaced D.I. John D’Adamo as the Five-O’s head honcho Oct. 28. “This is the best job in the NYPD.”

The precinct commander spent last week settling into his new job, touring the precinct with veteran officers, meeting community leaders and learning the issues effecting Riverdale and Kingsbridge residents.

He said he detected “a sense of deep anger” about the auto crime that’s plagued the area for years.

“These crimes affect everyone in the community, rich or poor, at all levels,” Capt. del Pozo said. “We understand how it impacts people, and we’re going to do the job.”

He said he also understood the anxiety many residents felt in the wake of the thwarted plot to bomb Riverdale Temple and Riverdale Jewish Center in May.

“It showed us that terrorism is a problem that can strike anywhere,” Capt. del Pozo said. “I want to make sure people feel comfortable living here.”

One of his favorite things about the community so far is its diversity — and its tasty food.

“There’s a larger Cuban population here than I expected, which means good Cuban food can’t be far behind,” said the captain, whose father was Cuban and whose mother “was just a nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn.”

The captain, born and raised in Bensonhurst, hopes his Jewish- Cuban background helps him fit in among Riverdale’s varied ethnic groups.
