The TBA was once again honored to celebrate this year’s National Night Out Against Crime, with the officers of the 17th Precinct.

This is a bigger year than usual. The NYPD is rolling out its new Neighborhood Policing program, and residents got to meet the Neighborhood Coordinating Officers who are specifically assigned to police our neighborhood. (Scroll down to 17th Precinct News for more about this.)

Sponsored by the 17th Precinct Community Council, the event featured live entertainment and wonderful food generously cooked on the spot by Ali Baba Turkish Cuisine.
