Tuesday was National night out in the eleven police precincts in the Bronx. Since I could not be at all eleven event I attended three of them. I began at the 50th Pct.on West 234th Street between Bailey Avenue and Broadway. The photos will tell the rest of the story.

Below - Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz joins DI O'Toole along side the new Smart police car, and it appears the two take up more than half of the cars length, and may both just fit into the new police car. Each police precinct has been assigned one Smart police car which replaces the three wheeled scooters, and at half the cost.
