COLTON FORMS NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH GROUP FOR SOUTHERN BROOKLYN
BENSONHURST — A new Neighborhood Watch is forming in Assemblymember William Colton’s (D-47) district encompassing Gravesend, Bensonhurst, Bath Beach, and Dyker Heights, in conjunction with the UA3, Chinese American Social Service (CASS) organizations and Susan Zhuang, a City Council candidate. Colton, whose office established “Neighborhood Watch” with the purpose of keeping the aforementioned communities safe, is recruiting locals to join and will hold a press conference in front of the CASS office on Avenue O, Saturday morning, March 25, with that goal.
Colton declared, “If you see something say something,” quoting a popular MTA slogan launched right after the September 11, 2001 terror attack.
