The NYPD is expanding their community outreach by looking to ensure those living with disabilities are included in everything from local events to having a direct line to officers.
NYPD Community Affairs joined forces with District Leader Daisy Paez on Sunday to present a neighborhood extravaganza in the Lower East Side designed especially with the impaired in mind. Taking place on 4th Street between Avenues B and C during the evening of Aug. 28, the event was akin to a block party. NYPD officers cooked hotdogs while a DJ played music and young children created paintings and participated in games.
