Assemblyman Boyland and Concerned
Constituents Turn Out to Demand Police Presence

Not only does drug trafficking pose a grave threat to the vivacity of our neighborhoods, it is illegal and most importantly, destroying the lives of our nation’s youth. In response, Assemblyman Boyland, Deputy Inspector Sam Wright, several block presidents, and concerned constituents will gather on the corner of Rockaway and Bainbridge to demand increased police presence. In particular, this specific corner is noted for its high volume of drug related activities. Interested persons who wish to participate in this demonstration should contact: Sam Wright or William Boyland.
