Streets close for “block party”-esque Night Out at the 62
This year’s National Night Out Against Crime felt like a party to Deputy Inspector Anthony Sanseverino, the 62nd Precinct’s commanding officer, who compared the annual cop-community melting pot to a block party.
“I’m overwhelmed again by the support of the community,” said Sanseverino from outside the precinct house at 1925 Bath Avenue where, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, August 1, the streets were closed to accommodate everything from games and rides to information tables and even a food truck dishing out Brooklyn-centric sausage and pepper sandwiches.
Throughout the evening, police officers, precinct personnel and local residents came together in a spirit that, year after year, leaves Sanseverino beaming with pride.
