68th Precinct gears up for annual Night Out Against Crime
The 68th Precinct will continue the long-standing tradition that takes place all over the country, with its annual National Night Out, an event designed to bring police together with the community.
The precinct will throw an all-out party in Shore Road Park at 79th Street beginning at 6 p.m. and running to 9 p.m on Tuesday, August 6. Organized by the 68th Precinct Community Council, this year’s iteration will again include a concert by popular local group Alive ‘N’ Kickin’.
“We have quite a number of community groups that participate,” said Council President David Ryan last year, noting that, while some are anti-crime specific, many are geared towards community life in general.
