Mundo, who told DNAinfo after the meeting that he skipped sharing more about his background in order to let community members speak and ask questions, said he was happy to be back in the community he patrolled during the late '90s.
"I feel like I can accomplish a lot, although a lot has been accomplished already," he said during the meeting. "One thing I'm looking forward to is working very closely with the community and businesses."
