Mark your calendars, because the 72nd Precinct will host their 2014 National Night Out Against Crime on Tuesday, August 5 in Sunset Park (44th Street and 6th Avenue entrance) from 4-8pm.

Developed in 1984, National Night Out began as an effort to “promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and to send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back.” It is celebrated annually across the country on the first Tuesday in August.

The 72nd will bring out all the stops this year, including live music, free food and drinks from local restaurants, crime prevention and fire safety tips, FBI and EMS lectures, giveaways for the kids, and more.

This is a great opportunity to show some community pride, so bring the family out, get to know the 72nd — and its new Commanding Officer, Captain Tommy Ng — and take a stand against neighborhood crime.
