ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY — Over one hundred motorcycles roared through the Bronx and Rockland County today as part of the Annual NYPD Detective Miosotis P. Familia Remembrance Motorcycle Ride, honoring the life and sacrifice of the 12-year NYPD veteran who was tragically killed in the line of duty on July 5, 2017.

On that day, Officer Miosotis P. Familia was sitting in a marked police vehicle following her overnight shift when she was ambushed and fatally shot. The senseless attack shocked New York City and the nation. A devoted single mother of three and caretaker for her aging mother, Familia’s legacy continues to inspire law enforcement and civilians alike.

Saturday’s remembrance ride was organized by the SWORN GUNS MC NORTHERN CHAPTER and escorted by NYPD Highway 1. The procession began in the Bronx, with stops at the 46th Precinct and the very site where Detective Familia was assassinated, before continuing north to Leo Laders American Legion Post 130 in Rockland County.

Leading the effort to preserve her mother’s memory is Genesis Familia, who continues to advocate for the rights of survivors of fallen officers. Genesis is actively working to ensure that families of those who gave their lives in the line of duty receive the full benefits and recognition they deserve.

Rockland Report Admin

The Suffern Police Department Detective Bureau, in partnership with the Rockland County Intelligence Center, recently conducted a proactive sweep of 35 local businesses to check for ATM and credit card skimming devices. No devices were detected.

Skimming devices are illegal tools used by criminals to capture payment card information during legitimate transactions—often without the victim’s knowledge. This stolen data can then be used to commit fraud and identity theft.

Proactive enforcement efforts like this play a critical role in safeguarding the community by preventing financial crimes before they occur and protecting both residents and local businesses. The Suffern Police Department remains committed to staying ahead of emerging threats and ensuring the continued safety and security of the community.
