The 25th annual Night Out Against Crime was held Tuesday night by communities and police precincts throughout the borough.

More than 200 residents and elected officials attended one event at MacDonald Park in Forest Hills.

Originally created to affirm the communities and police attempts to take back the streets from crime, the local precinct celebrated Forest Hills as one of the safest neighborhoods in the City.

The precinct is leading Queens Borough North in crime reduction, said Captain Christopher Tamola of the 112th Precinct.

He also gave a safety tip to the community.

“When a person is aware of their surroundings and belongings, it helps to reduce crime,” he said.

District Attorney Richard Brown, a Forest Hills resident said, “We’re probably the safest precinct in the county and we’re proud of that,” he said. “We celebrate the change from the early 1990s when crime was rampant in New York City.”

Renee Lobo, secretary of the 112 Precinct Community Council, explained the organization’s role in the community, beyond organizing this one-night a year affair. They have speakers on Pick Pocketers, predatory lenders, identity theft and other crimes affecting the community.

They also have graffiti cleanings, essay contests and diversity and unity education for children so they grow up in a more tolerant atmosphere.

The organization meets at 7:30 p.m. every third Wednesday at the 112th Precinct, 68-40 Austin St.

Elected officials at the Night Out included Councilmembers Melinda Katz (D-Forest Hills), Helen Sears (D-Jackson Heights), and Anthony Como (D-Middle Village), State Senator Serphin Maltese and Deputy Borough President Karen Koslowitz.

The night featured free lasagna, bagels, chips and Dunkin Donuts. Students from the International Karate Center gave a Shoto-Kan Karate demonstration, and there was live Bukharian music as well as a DJ playing the standards. Educational tables were set up by the Fire and Police departments, and social service agencies like Self Help, JPAC, and the Lions Club.
