Haverstraw, NY – Via Wanda Soto-Gonzalez “I would like to give a HUGE  shout out to the Haverstraw Police Department! A week ago my grandson’s bike was stolen a day after he bought it .. he worked all summer and saved his money to buy this bike that he wanted .. he had the misfortune the day after he got it after only having it for one day, it was stolen from the hall  way to his home… needless to say he was saddened to have worked all summer to buy this expensive bicycle  and it was stolen!! Haverstraw Town Police 👮‍♀️ took  community policing to a whole new level. They all  chipped in amongst themselves and bought my grandson the same bike 🚲 the smile that was on his face when they all delivered it to him was priceless.

On October 18, 1988, NYPD Police Officer Michael Buczek of the 34 Pct. was shot and killed when he and his partner attempted to arrest two suspects on a drug charge in an apartment building at 580 West 161st Street in Washington Heights. One of the suspects shot Officer Buczek while attempting to run from the scene.
The three suspects fled to the Dominican Republic where one later died in police custody and a second was apprehended by the United States Marshals in 2000. The third suspect was apprehended in the Dominican Republic in May 2002. On June 19th, 2003, two of the suspects were sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
