One of many police departments in a state Urban Dictionary

A hypothesized scenario, where a really shitty part of town becomes a dumping ground for honest, enlightened cops(ie Serpico), who all the crooked, racist cops regard as a pain the ass. The result of having a precinct full of good, upstanding cops is that the area does a total 180, becoming a near Utopia, where different races get along, there are no drugs(except a little weed, here and there), and everybody is happy and friendly. Urban Dictionary

The precinct that Brooklyn nine nine is in Urban Dictionary

The 100th Precinct is an NYPD police precinct located in the southern area of the borough of Queens on the Rockaway Peninsula. The neighborhoods within the precinct are Arverne, Belle Harbor, Breezy Point, Broad Channel, Neponsit, Rockaway Park and Roxbury. Primarily it is a residential area consisting of Housing Projects, apartment buildings, one and two family homes, five to ten family tenaments, skids, skells, dopeheads, theives, crackheads, and zombies. This precinct covers almost every economic class from the destitute housing project dweller to filthy rich Jewish diamond merchants all within a 6 square mile area. From what I understand, this area used to be very nice to live in until the housing projects were erected and the undesireables moved in. The cops that patrol this area are for the most part, functional retards. They are the fuckups and morons that every other shithole command on The Job got rid of for being incompetant. These cops are known to shoot dogs and have their legs snap at the first sight of conflict. This precinct is usually refered to by other cops as either "Fort Zero" or "Fort Retard" As in any clusterfuck there are usualy a few hardworking cops with an IQ of 70 or above that keep the place from burning. It should be noted that for one of the slowest police precincts in the NYPD, the 100th precinct has the largest crime increase the ENTIRE city thus far in 2008. Don't listen to The Ramones when they tell you to hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach, there's a better than average chance you'll get robbed. Urban Dictionary
