Answers:
Get a place as close as you can to the police department then you may be sheltered at night to shift back to work contained by the morning
if you want to live within Brooklyn and are working at Park and 30th, just follow the 4/5/6 subway queue down and see where it go. i'd probably go simply as far down as Eastern Parkway / Brooklyn Museum. any farther and it will be just a bit less protected...
otherwise, the same subway strip is convenient to the East Village, not so much to the LES.
Let's compare it to your city (though for the bad areas, your buildings are MUCH nicer looking! :) ) Toronto first, later NYC neighborhoods.
Jane/Finch - Bedford-Stuyvesant, East New York, Brownsville, Bushwick, Crown Heights (those four are in Brooklyn), South Bronx.
Spadina - Chinatown
Queen Street W. - West Village, parts of the East Village.
Cabbagetown - Norwood (Bronx)
Bloor Street W. - Upper East Side, Upper West Side.
Greektown - Astoria
Little Italy - Staten Island
St. Clair W. - Castle Hill, El Barrio
Queens Quay - Midtown Manhattan
Other than that, next to the mix of people, Toronto almost feel like Queens, NY next to the diversity.
Hopefully those comparisons help.
Don't listen to the last post, he probably never be to NYC. Anyway, the best area on the LES to live surrounded by will be in the East Village, anywhere from First Avenue to the Avenue D. For the Brooklyn, I would suggest Downtown Brooklyn, Brooklyn Heights or Carrol Garden. You will be lucky, to find a descent size apartment those locations for a clothed price.
Good luck and happy house hunting.
