National Night Out Against Crime
Tuesday, August 2nd, 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
On National Night Out Against Crime, join the 66th Precinct, the 66th Precinct Community Council, and Community Board 12 for free, food, drinks, ice cream, rides, bounces, games, giveaways, and more.
National Night Out Against Crime is held annually on the first Tuesday in August. The National Association of Town Watch created it in 1984.
Prior to that, in the 1970s, as one facet of the Women's Liberation Movement, women engaged in their own non-governmental, grass-roots efforts, called "Take Back the Night," with the goal of protesting and deterring violence against women through their visible presence outdoors.
From the website of National Association of Town Watch:
"National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live."
For more information about the event, call the 66th Precinct Community Affairs Office at (718) 851-5601.
