    NYPD Harbor Unit - Harbor launch#4

    NYPD Harbor Unit

    The Harbor Unit of the New York City Police Department was founded on March 15, 1858. Its purpose…read morewas to combat piracy aboard the merchant ships lying at anchor in the harbor and waterfront thugs who were terrorizing the unloading docks. Within a few weeks of its founding a fleet of twelve tow boats with five man crews was formed. This method of patrol proved effective and over a short period of time the piracy and thievery was adequately dealt with. On February 1, 1863, the Harbor Unit, then known as the Marine Division, launched its first steamer, The Seneca, a side wheeler. The steamers gradually replaced the row boat fleet by the year 1901. In 1916 the first gasoline engine patrol boats were incorporated into the fleet and on April 12, 1926 the last steamer was retired from the fleet. In July 1959 the first two twin screw diesel engine patrol boats, wood hull, were added to the fleet. On July 20, 1966, the first of ten steel hull, fifty two foot twin screw diesel launches was placed into service. During June 1983, four faster thirty foot, aluminum hull, twin diesel powered launches were purchased. Over the years they have been re-powered and are still in service today. The NYPD's steel launches have all been removed from service. However there is a restored 1966 vintage fifty two foot launch (No 5) on patrol as a private U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary facility. In 1984, the first of new large aluminum boats was built. It was a forty eight foot patrol launch with a thirteen foot Boston Whaler® on the trunk cabin. After delivery, changes to the design were needed and in 1994 the first of the new fifty five foot Kenny Hanson class boats were launched. These are also equipped with thirteen foot Boston Whalers. They are powered by twin 1271 Detroit Diesels with a total of 1600 horsepower. The Harbor Unit now has a total of five in service. In 1993, the Harbor Unit took delivery on the first thirty six foot patrol launch. They are powered by twin 3208 Caterpillar Diesels. The Harbor Unit now has a total of four of these vessels in service. These fifty five foot and thirty six foot patrol launches along with assorted outboard motor boats make up the present day fleet. The New York City Police Department is responsible for patrolling 146 square miles of navigable waters and 576 miles of waterfront. Its mission is carried on throughout the harbor for the protection of life and property, the prevention and detection of crime, arrest of offenders, preservation of the public peace and the enforcement of all laws and ordinances. The Harbor Unit performs patrol duty 24 hours per day, 365 days a year, on blazing hot days of summer to frigid cold days of winter. Its primary mission is rescue of persons in distress while swimming, overboard from boating mishaps (accident, fire, explosion), despondent persons having jumped into the water from piers, bridges, or ferryboats, or the rescue of persons stranded aboard their boats which are in distress and disabled at sea. Terrorist activity is a world wide menace today. Security patrols are maintained off of the two major New York Airports, LaGuardia and J.F.K., during the arrivals and departures thereat of our President, foreign heads of state and their representatives while visiting our City. These security patrols are being extended to the waters off of the United Nations Building while it is in session with heads of state addressing it. The commercial aspect of the harbor is year-round with the movement of ferryboats, ocean liners, freighters, tankers, tugs, barges, scows, lighters, sightseeing cruisers, commercial and party fishing boats, all plying their trade daily. The pleasure boating is seasonal each year with more and more boaters taking to the water at the first signs of warm sunshine as early as April and continuing through late October. In the period when pleasure boating is at its peak, the Harbor Unit launches its smaller craft for patrol in the areas frequented by the pleasure boating public to render necessary services to them and help make their boating safe. Rikers Island with its Correctional Institution (Prison), Hart Island, and the various other islands within the City of New York are also the subject of special patrols by the Harbor Unit. The members assigned to the Harbor Unit for marine patrol are selected form the regular street patrol force of the New York City Police Department. They have prior marine experience and knowledge in small boat handling and operation, having been raised along the waterfront or having been previously employed in the maritime industry. Their personnel are specifically assigned either to launch crew duty, maintenance and repair functions at the Launch Repair Shop, or to the full time, around-the-clock Scuba Team. When you are in trouble in the waters of New York City you can be sure that you will be aided by the finest of the finest.

    I can actually review this place as my boyfriend was sitting there for 3 years for drug trafficking…read more(that happened many years ago). He lost a lot of weight and become almost autistic. He lost a job, his business, almost all friends (that's maybe a good thing after all) and almost lost me. The "clientelle" is rather friendly. The guards do not push above the roof. The food is bad, but there's commissary for a hundred bucks a week. Then you can "pay" the locals to cook something for you. He fought his case and won a time served. What an experience.

    I came to MDC to visit a relative whom is a federal inmate. The whole process here wasn't as bad as…read moreI thought. I'm comparing the visiting process to 1 Police Plaza near City Hall and to Allenwood penitentiary in PA. The Friday visiting hours are from 5pm-7pm. If you get there on time, fill out the application, put your personal effects in locker that is provided, you'll be in the visiting room in no time. The security guards weren't as mean as I expected. In Allenwood, those guards were dicks! They didn't even allow you to use the lockers even though they had them. 1 Police Plaza isn't too bad but the visiting room is small and stinky. Here at MDC, it was fairly spacious. In the visiting room, there were private rooms for attorneys and inmates. There's 1 food vending machine, most items were $4-5. Two soda machines, all beverages were $2.75 and only 1 microwave to heat up your food. No utensils, just napkins. Sounds awful but still 10 times better than 1 Police Plaza. During visitation, the guard tells you where to be seated. In Allenwood, you choose wherever you like just as long as an inmate does not sit next to another inmate. The only thing that you're allowed to bring inside is cash money, only singles or five dollar bills. No 10's, 20's, 50's, 100's and you must keep the money in a zip lock bag. They aren't too hard on you if you don't have a bag. In Allenwood, they break your balls over everything and treat the visitor as if they're the inmate. Verdict - From just a visitor's point of view, it's not too shabby. Getting here by train was the worse part. Taking the R to 25th street station took forever. It's about a 7-8 block walk from the station. There's also a waiting room outside of MDC. There's air conditioning but it is still relatively hot because of the non tinted glass windows. I considered driving here but I'm not familiar with the parking situation and whether you're allowed to park under the BQE without a permit. I didn't want to risk it so I wound up taking a near 2 hour train ride to get to this darn place. All in all, knowing that a relative is now closer to home, it's a good sign. Just make sure you don't wear tan or brown colored shirt or pants and just follow their guideline policy before visiting an inmate. The process will be quicker than you think if you come correct.

    Bare-bones personal business services shop located on the 'Calle de Peluquería' (Avenue of the…read moreBarbershops). Seriously, does all of Sunset Park come here for cuts? There's 5-6 barbers in a row! Anyway, 'B&B IV' is an as-tiny-as-a-matchbox store with drywall and white paint, with glaring white overhead fluorescents. No frills whatsoever. No carpet, no muzak even. Threadbare. Its that same kind of dinky little services-shop you see in South America: ATM machine, private phone booths to conduct international transactions, internet station with two PCs, (if you surf XXX sites senor, law enforcement WILL be called!) bulletproof clerk's counter to pay bills, cash payroll checks, get photocopies and scans, get money orders, wire money. Make international calls. You can also purchase international phone cards or (in general) fix up any other phone mishap--not a phone repair place but everything else, yes they probably have the remedy. All of the signage, notices, circulars, and warnings in Spanish but the clerks are bi-lingual and generally cheerful and eager to be helpful. I appreciate having this store handy--it can really save the day. Lucky to have it right by the train stop, too. Now--not to overlook this bit of hilarity--bonus points for the large poster of two sexy Latin bikini sluts on the outside of the store--selling what? Well I'm sure I don't know, (there's an international number listed) but I'm equally as sure many people assume B&B is some kind of porn store, due to that. The mystifying crassness of this, is just to marvel at. What can one say? Its just a different culture. But like I say, its cheerful and charming...and frankly I prefer an unpretentious, unfussy, non-corporate, real-live-human place like this than dealing with snotty arrogant Norte Americanos any day. Viva Villa! Down with Heurta! ka-pow ka-pow ka-pow

    The Bay Ridge branch of the Brooklyn Public Library is a nice sized space and conveniently located…read morein the immediate vicinity of a number of schools which allows the flow of traffic of students to be rather consistent. The library has two floors and the second is designated to be the Children's Library with reading content suitable for the younger set. The main floor has computer access and complimentary WiFi for those who wish to bring their own device in and have some relative quiet surroundings. It's not too quiet on the Children's floor I am afraid and it made me laugh at how much has changed on that since I was that age and in the library. I've not taken any books out of a library in many years but still have a library card just in case I need something. My reason for being here was for the WiFi and to sit for a few minutes to update my work laptop with some information on the work I was doing. The staff seems very friendly and helpful which is always good to observe.

    I saw a bunch of reviews highlighting how loud this library is--it's true!…read more Came to get my daughter a few books and loom for alone for myself. When I approached the employee about getting a replacement card, she didn't seem overly eager to assist. Nonetheless I got my replacement and when I went upstairs, I noticed how loud it was. Kids running around, loud voices from kids and parents, one person cells was going off very loudly. I ventilations I got fed up, and departed ewrlier than I had anticipated. In my former library staff would gently walk around and ask people to please lower their voices, maybe said policy needs to implemented here because this isn't an environment that would allow kids to be in a peaceful and normal library setting.
