Captain William Taylor, commanding officer of the NYPD’s 62nd Precinct, will be holding an bilingual information session – in Chinese and English – to educate community members on how to be vigilant against crime.

The meeting, which will inform residents on how to avoid scams, burglaries, and auto theft, will take place on **Friday, February 20, at 1pm,** at the New Utrecht Public Library (1743 86th Street).

As we’ve [reported before](/beware-the-chinese-blessing-scam/), several crime schemes in our neighborhood have targeted Bensonhurt’s Asian community, particularly around the holidays. For example, in November we reported an incident in which a pair of Cantonese-speaking women [robbed a 74-year-old woman](/police-warn-scams-targeting-elderly-asians-bensonhurst/), by offering to bless her money and valuables. In addition, there has been a [disproportionate number of burglaries](/new-wave-of-burglaries-targets-bensonhursts-asian-community/) targeting the Chinese community, particularly around the new year.

Please spread the word about this important event!
