LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commending the 67th Police Precinct Community
Council upon the occasion of hosting its 2009 Fashion Show
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize that the
quality and character of life in the communities across New York State
are reflective of the concerned and dedicated efforts of those organiza-
tions and individuals who would devote themselves to the welfare of the
community and its citizenry; and
WHEREAS, It is incumbent upon the people of the State of New York to
recognize and acknowledge those within our midst who have made signif-
icant contributions to the quality of life therein; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commend
the 67th Police Precinct Community Council upon the occasion of hosting
its 2009 Fashion Show, to be celebrated on Friday, May 22, 2009, in
Brooklyn, New York; and
WHEREAS, Originally established in the 1940s, Precinct Community Coun-
cils are forums that provide ongoing, direct communication between the
police and community; community members meet regularly with the precinct
Commanding Officer and Community Affairs Officers to discuss and find
solutions to public-safety problems in their neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, There are 76 Councils citywide, one in each precinct; in
addition, Police Service Areas serving City housing developments convene
Resident Councils; the 67th Police Precinct Community Council's distin-
guished record merits the recognition and respectful tribute of this
Legislative Body; it is a true asset to society; and
WHEREAS, It is the tradition of this State and this Nation to pay
tribute to institutions such as the 67th Police Precinct Community Coun-
cil and to those individuals whose diligence and compassionate commit-
ment have made a substantial impact on the quality of life in their
communities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the 67th Police Precinct Community Council upon the occasion of
hosting its 2009 Fashion Show; and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to President Patricia Reddock.
