61st Precinct's Night Out Against Crime

Yesterday marked the 26th Anniversary of the 61st Precinct’s Night Out Against Crime. Organized by the 61st Precinct Community Council, the national event symbolizes the efforts of communities all over the country to take the streets back from crime and use them for positive.

State Senator Marty Golden, Councilman Michael Nelson, CB15 Chair Theresa Scavo and others were in attendance to express gratitude towards the officers of the 61st. Eight-year-old Monica Hershkovich performed “Tomorrow” from the musical Annie, and the Top Scholar dance troop showed their skills.

    I passed by, but decided not to stop in. There were, as Gene observed, lots of people there.

    I did attend the first one back in 83′. It was a bold idea at that time, and made an important statement. The statement is still important, but I think we are less afraid now.

    I wonder how long they let the phone ring at the 61′st. I wonder if they Daily News tested them.
    The last two times I called (to get accident report numbers) It took me 3 days to get in touch with someone. Yea. 3 days of calling.
