August 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Last night’s “Night Out Against Crime” featured a huge gathering a public officials, including Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, at Grand Army Plaza. Per a press release from the Prospect Park Alliance, which also widely distributed photos of the event:

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly joined the 78th Precinct at the Grand Army Plaza entrance to Prospect Park to mark the “25th Annual National Night Out,” a public crime prevention event…Also attending the event were Congressman Anthony Weiner, NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, NY State Senator Velmentta Montgomery, Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes, and representatives from the offices of Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, and NY State Assemblywoman Joan Millman (who presented a proclamation from New York State Governor David Patterson).

One can assume, given the concentration of politicians and police that there wasn’t even any jaywalking during the event.
