On Tuesday, August 2nd Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera will celebrate the 28th Annual National Night Out. In collaboration with the 49th and 52nd police precincts, this event is sure to promote the communal spirit of the Bronx through enjoyable programming as well as to encourage better relationships amongst residents and law enforcement officials in the area.
National Night Out 2011 will take place at two locations within the 80th Assembly District. The 52nd Precinct will hold their National Night Out at Williamsbridge Oval Park (206th and Bainbridge Ave) and the 49th Precinct’s National Night Out will be held on the Pelham Parkway Lawn located at Pelham Parkway North (Between Wallace Ave. and Barnes Ave). The event is anticipated to run from 6:00 to 9:00 pm.
National Night out was designed to heighten drug and crime prevention awareness, increase support and involvement towards anticrime programs, build neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships, and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. This year’s event is sure to carry on the tradition.
There are no financial obligations for residents who wish to participate in National Night Out. This event is family oriented and there will be food and refreshments for all to enjoy. National Night Out events are successful every year and they continue to transform communities into better places to live. This event is sure to be a great way to kick off the Assemblywoman’s Summer Event Series of 2011.
