72nd Precinct’s National Night Out Against Crime another blast
It was a safe and fun night out, as Sunset Park played host to the 72nd Precinct’s annual National Night Out against Crime.
The fun-filled event, held on Tuesday, August 1, at the soccer field in Sunset Park, brought hundreds of members of the community together with 72nd Precinct officers, elected officials, and organization representatives to enjoy live music, dancing, food, games, rides and mascots for the kids to take a photograph with.
Deputy Inspector Emmanuel Gonzalez considered his second National Night Out at the 72nd Precinct a huge success. “This day has grown into a unity event,” he told this paper. “National Night Out Against Crime is not only a relationship between the community and the police, but it’s also turned out to be a yearly event that everyone looks forward to. They appreciate and love it. All these organizations that are here contribute to this incredible event. If you look around, the number of organizations has doubled and we expect to do that every year.”
