SUNNYSIDE — Residents will get a chance to meet the new commanding officer of the 108th Precinct at a town hall meeting Thursday and ask questions about crime in the area.
Capt. Ralph Forgione will be at Sunnyside Community Services from 6 to 7:30 p.m., where he'll introduce himself and take questions from residents, according to City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer's office, which is organizing the event.
Forgione took over as leader of the precinct at the start of the new year.
