Students give Valentines to precinct

It was all love at the 62nd Precinct when public school students visited the stationhouse on Valentine’s Day to show their appreciation.

“Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love with the special people in your life and what a special treat the members of the 62nd Precinct received,” said Lau. “Words cannot express how happy the officers were. Thank you to teachers, staff and little angels of P.S. 186.”

“Our Student Leadership Team and some of the students from our NIA program made Valentines to our local police at the 62nd precinct,” said P.S. 186 Parent Coordinator Elaine Delaney. “The students wanted the officers to know how much they appreciate everything they do for our community and for keeping us safe.”
