Adams gives safety tips to Park Slope senior citizens
Visits local center after woman is robbed
In the wake of the shocking assault and robbery of an elderly woman in the vestibule of her Park Slope building, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams paid a visit to a local senior citizen center to offer tips on how to stay safe.
Adams, a former police captain, told members of the Park Slope Center for Successful Aging on March 8 that knowledge is power and that alertness, awareness and preparation are the keys to safety.
“The best weapons to combat crime against seniors are education and preparation,” he said.
