NYPD to help make 2004 "Year of Respect" in Brooklyn.
On April 22nd, Borough President Marty Markowitz
hosted Borough Hall's annual Commanders Breakfast, where he
welcomed more than 50 police precinct captains from around the
borough. Brooklyn South Chief Joseph Fox and Brooklyn North
Chief Joseph Cunneen both attended, and they addressed the commanders.
Thomas K.
Newell, Vice President of Con Edison for Brooklyn and Queens,
spoke on behalf of Con Ed, the event's sponsor.
Markowitz
asked the commanders to join his 2004 campaign to make respect
Brooklyn's attitude, and told them that their police work to
make Brooklyn safer had enabled the borough to grow economically,
culturally and socially.
"Even
for those that don't treat police with respect, the first place
they turn when they're in trouble is the police department,"
said Markowitz. "If we work together to make respect Brooklyn's
attitude, it will make your jobs easier and it will make Brooklynites'
lives better."
