The annual National Night Out Against Crime helped bring everyone closer together. The 45th Precinct and 45th Precinct Community Council celebrated the 34th annual nationwide police-community event on Tuesday, August 1 at Co-op City’s Greenway. This year’s festivities included live musical performances, an awards presentation and a special screening of ‘Kong: Skull Island,’ sponsored by Assemblyman Michael Benedetto, to close out the night.
