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.

Today, the NYC Police Benevolent Association, Rockland County PBA, Orangetown PBA, and the Rockland County Shields honored Officer Buczek with a plaque that was presented to the Buczek Family at their family owned Dunkin’ in Pearl River, NY. Law enforcement from across Rockland County, members from the NYPD, County Exec Ed Day, (Ret. NYPD), Sheriff Lou Falco, and Supervisors Jim Monaghan (Ret. NYPD) and Teresa Kenny attended the ceremony. The room was completely packed with people having to observe from the outside.

The common message was – we will never forget NYPD PO Michael J. Buczek.

Frustrated by mopeds and e-bikes weaving through traffic like the rules don’t apply? You’re not alone.

This morning, a Ramapo officer observed a Honda ADV150 moped dangerously cutting off vehicles and weaving between lanes on Airmont Road near North DeBaun Avenue. The 25-year-old operator had no license plates and couldn’t provide proof of insurance. The vehicle was immediately towed, and multiple summonses were issued.

But tickets are just the beginning. True accountability happens in court. This case is now before the Village of Airmont Justice Court.

We’re committed to making our roads safer—every day, for everyone. Drive responsibly, and know we’re out there doing our part to keep our community safe.
