Long Island City, New York August 2, 2011 - Civic leaders joined Long Island City residents and the 108th Precinct at Andrews Playground on August 2nd to celebrate the '28th Annual National Night Out Against Crime'.  Local restaurants and eateries  generously provided food to show their appreciation for the local police men and women.  NNOAC promotes community involvement in crime and drug prevention activities, strengthening police-community relations, and encouraging neighborhood camaraderie as part of the fight for safer streets.
