The Haverstraw Police Department was proud to participate in the annual North Rockland Sports and Law Enforcement Day! We want to extend our sincere thanks to Supervisor Howard Phillips and the Town Board of the Town of Haverstraw, the Town of Stony Point, Dr. Kris Felicello and the North Rockland School District for organizing this great event.

Special thanks to Sheriff Lou Falco and the Rockland County Sheriff’s Office, Stony Point Police, New York State Police, local EMS and Fire Departments, the DEA, NYS Corrections, and all the agencies who participated in the incredible demonstrations—including the SWAT truck, Bomb Squad, Mounted Unit, Drone Units, rollover simulator, and the police helicopter.

We’re grateful to the Haverstraw PAL for their continued support and dedication to fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and local youth.

We had a fantastic time connecting with the youth of our community through fun activities. Events like these help break down barriers between law enforcement and our young people, and we are grateful to be part of such an important effort.

We look forward to continuing to build strong, positive relationships with our community!
