Report From Roosevelt Island Gang Awareness Summit For Adults Presentation With Ron "Cook" Barrett

Roosevelt Island Public Safety Director Keith Guerra reports on the June 23 Gang Awareness Summit For Adults:

I would like to thank the many members of the community that attended our 2nd Community Outreach Summit on Gangs. The superb turnout is a reflection of the interest the residents and business owners have in this neighborhood. Please remember that "it takes a village to raise a child" and the more we get involved, the better our children will be. Structured Programs and community interaction are the key. If you see something that does not look right, please say something. The Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department's phone number is 212-832-4545.

"Together we can make a difference."

During Director Guerra's opening presentation he said it was important that Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department share as much information as it can with the residents and business owners on Roosevelt Island so that folks can be informed with what's going on. He also indicated that the recent Roosevelt Landings shooting incident was isolated, not random in nature and the victim was not seriously hurt. Mr. Guerra's emphasized that he believes Roosevelt Island is still the safest neighborhood in at least the Borough of Queens and that the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department wants the residents to feel safe.
