	* [[Point Breeze]]
	* [[Grays Ferry]]		The 3rd Police District is one of the Philadelphia Police Department's geographic patrol divisions covering South Philadelphia west of Broad Street. The district's jurisdiction includes communities that have seen considerable demographic and economic change since the late twentieth century, as longtime working-class residents of South Philadelphia have been joined by newer arrivals drawn to the area's relative affordability and proximity to Center City. Policing strategies in the district have shifted over the decades to reflect those changes, with a growing emphasis on community-oriented approaches alongside traditional patrol functions.<ref>{{cite web \|url=https://www.phillypolice.com/districts/3rd-district \|title=3rd Police District \|publisher=Philadelphia Police Department \|access-date=December 2025}}</ref>
	* [[Newbold]]
	* Portions of ~~[[South Philadelphia]]~~		Point Breeze in particular has been a focal point for community policing efforts. The neighborhood experienced elevated rates of violent crime in the early 2000s, and the district worked with community organizations and city agencies to address those conditions alongside longer-term economic revitalization in the area. It's a district that has had to balance competing pressures: the concerns of established residents about displacement and public safety, and the needs of a growing population of newer arrivals.
