National Night Out Against Crime 2013
Tuesday, August 6th, 4:00 p.m.
"The introduction of National Night Out, 'America’s Night Out Against
Crime', in 1984 began an effort to promote involvement in crime
prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood
camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that
neighborhoods are organized and fighting back."
-- National Association of Town Watch
The 72nd Precinct's National Night Out will gather at the 44th Street and 6th Avenue entrance to Sunset Park. The event is both social and educational, offering live music and a DJ, free food and drinks, local business food tastings, information about crime prevention and fire safety, and FBI and EMS lectures.
The goals of National Night Out are reasonable and inarguable:
To meet these goals--or to achieve any degree of success in meeting them--communities and the precincts that serve them have to work together in cooperation and transparently.
Contact P.O. Dean Hanan in the precinct's Community Affairs Unit at (718) 965-6326 for more information or to participate, sponsor, or volunteer.
Or e-mail him at dean.hanan [at] nypd.org.
This is National Night Out's 30th year. Last year, NNO was held at Greenwood Playground.
