GREAT NEWS

We just heard from Community Board 8 that the Impact Zone WILL remain in effect on Franklin Avenue. Thank you to everyone who sent in letters, building community is an important step towards deterring crime!!! Please take a minute to contact Commissioner Kelly and thank him, either by mail or through this email link: http://www.nyc.gov/html/mail/html/mailnypd.html

IMPORTANT LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN

UPDATE 7/20 The Impact Zone WILL remain on Franklin Avenue (see next post) By this time, you probably know a young man was shot in the leg on Franklin Avenue, Saturday afternoon at about 2:30. What you might not know is that Commissioner Kelly is planning to pull the Impact Zone from Franklin and Nostrand Avenues at the end of the month. This means we will lose the increased foot patrol that has had such a positive effect on our community since January. We got the first Impact Zone as the result of a very strong letter writing campaign. We need to do another immediately!!! Even while our neighborhood continues to improve, this is the 3rd shooting on Franklin since the middle of May. We urge you to write a letter asking Commissioner Kelly to keep the Impact Zone on Franklin Avenue. You can either print the PDF version to sign and send, or you can download the .doc to customize with any personal concerns. PLEASE do it today.
