National Night Out 2010
Note: This event has been cancelled due to a scheduling problem and is being rescheduled.
Have you ever wondered who these officers are that patrol our streets? Have you ever wanted to ask them questions about our neighborhood and their job? Is there something on your mind that you’d like to address with them? This is your opportunity. These officers will also benefit from hearing our concerns and thoughts. The goal of the event is to bring the Prospect Lefferts Garden community together with these officers in order to have folks meet fact to face. Ultimately, we believe that greater familiarity between residents and officers will increase communication and trust.
You are invited to the first PLG Meet your “Beat Cop” Wine & Cheese Event.

On Tuesday, August 3, 2010, neighborhoods across the country celebrated The National Night Out Against Crime. The 71st Precinct hosted our local festivities on Sterling Street (between Bedford and Rogers Avenues). The night out featured a delicious barbeque, a bicycle was raffled off, and there were bouncy rides for the kids — but the best part was just hanging out with our neighbors on a beautiful summer night. Thank you to everyone at the 71st Precinct and the residents of Sterling 2 for a great night out!
