Next Tuesday, Aug. 1, the annual National Night Out Against Crime event will return to the many NYPD precincts across New York City.
This year, the National Night Out Against Crime will celebrate 40 years since it was established by Matt Peskin in Philadelphia in 1984 when the event was celebrated on the front porches of 2.5 million neighbors across 400 communities in 23 states.
Since then, National Night Out Against Crime has grown to thousands of communities in all 50 states with precinct-hosted block parties, crime prevention information, and other festivities for all ages. Among the celebrating precincts are the 16 precincts in Queens.
