Dear Friends and Neighbors,
I am very aware of the recent criminal activity on our streets and I have been working closely with the 115th Precinct to deal with these issues. I feel the difficult economic times in which we currently find ourselves are a contributing factor to crime in our neighborhood and across the city.
I have urged the police department to be ever more vigilant in their work. While I realize that recent events may have many worried, it is important that we not let fear take over. I live on 78th Street, very close to where a number of these incidents have occurred so I, too, am personally affected by them. I want to assure you that we will do everything possible to keep our neighborhood safe.
I will be holding a town hall meeting this Monday, December 19th, at 7:30pm at the Community Methodist Church (81-10 35th Avenue) to discuss these issues. Representatives from the 115th Precinct will also be there. It is my hope that we will be able to get a clear picture of what is going on in our neighborhood and how we as residents can help. I hope you will be able to join us.
Thank you for your time and concern. Please stay vigilant and do not hesitate to call 911 in an emergency, and please keep our office informed.
Sincerely,
Daniel Dromm
NYC Council Member, 25th District
