National Night Out heightens crime and drug prevention awareness and strengthens neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships. Assemblywoman Helene Weinstein, a sponsor of this year’s event, spoke to 63rd Precinct Captain, Thomas W. Burke, about community safety concerns, congratulated members of a local youth dance group on their dazzling performance, and thanked the Flatlands Volunteer Ambulance Corp for their dedication to the safety of the community.
