Downtown’s 84th Precinct sponsors ‘Night Out’ at Borough Hall Plaza
The National Night Out Against Crime took place Tuesday night, and the 84th Precinct celebrated its version of it on the steps of Borough Hall with more than 700 people enjoying live music, food and entertainment.
“This is a time to celebrate the success of the relationship between the NYPD and the community,” said Leslie Lewis, president of the 84th Precinct Community Council. “I thought we had a great turnout this year. It’s bigger than in years past.”
National Night Out began as a community-police awareness event in 1984. It takes place all over the country on the first Tuesday night in August, and is meant to promote safety and increase awareness about police programs.
