NEW YORK The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association here has launched a “Don’t blame the cop” campaign that aims to repair the police’s public image, tarnished in recent weeks by unusual ticketing practices that were reported in the local press.

Ticketing by New York police attracted the attention of metropolitan-area newspapers when a Bronx man was cited for sitting on a milk crate. Shortly thereafter, a pregnant woman was ticketed for sitting on subway stairs. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has denied the existence of the so-called “ticket blitz,” saying that fewer summonses have been issued this year than in years past.
