66th Precinct Celebrates National Night Out Against Crime

Community members flocked to the 66th Precinct’s National Night Out Against Crime Tuesday evening at PS 105 for an event that is part of a national attempt to fight crime by forging strong relationships between neighbors and police.

The 66th Precinct’s event, which was organized by the precinct’s community council and Community Board 12, drew children, parents, teachers, elected officials, and various government and civic organizations from throughout the area. The evening’s festivities included free games, rides, food, and more.

Among those in attendance were Deputy Inspector Michael Deddo (the commanding officer of the 66th Precinct) Councilman Brad Lander, representatives from Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson’s office, Police Coordinator Jahangir Hossain, ASAAL Vice President and South Asian community leader Mohammad M. Mahab, CMBBA Treasurer Anwar Hossain, Brooklyn Chapter ASAAL President Ahsanul Hoque, and Darul Zannah Mosque Imam Mohammad Ibrahim Khalil, among many others.
