Deputy Inspector Tony Christo and Captain Jack Gaughran had just stopped by to see how a Park runners%u2019 event was going, and were just about to leave for the Norwegian Day Parade in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn.Despite their characteristically busy schedule, they took a few moments to review the Auxiliaries%u2019 recent accomplishments. %u201cWe have 300 officers from 13 precincts who patrol in Prospect Park,%u201d noted Christo, %u201cand in the last two years we logged 22,500 hours on duty. Together with the regular police we%u2019ve had a lot of positive impact in this Park.%u201dThe continuing decline of crime in the Park supports this claim. Along with the Park Enforcement Patrol, the police have succeeded in creating a high-profile image that results in a very important thing, safety. Whether they%u2019ve covering a multithousand-person event or present on their normal weekday beat, they underline the fact that Prospect Park is a place that all people can feel free to enjoy.Christo, who is moving on io a newassignment, hopes that even more concerned New Yorkers will join the Auxiliary force. When we asked Gaughran about his new responsibilities as Christo%u2019s successor, he replied, %u201cI%u2019m going to t ?Deputy Auxiliary Police Inspector TonyChristo (right) congratulates his successor, Auxiliary Captain Jack Gaughran(left).

Without him %u2014 and all the women and men of the Auxiliary Police %u2014 Prospect Park couldn%u2019t live up to its reputation as one of the City%u2019s safest open spaces.Continued from Page 1Change in the Weather,%u201d a collection of drawings, paintings and prints by Dorothy Cochran, Cicely Cottingham, Pamela Cucineli, Harvey Dinnerstien and John Frohnhofer.
