The officer I spoke with was of no help, informed me they had no record of the person I was looking for, no license, and no vehicle information. He then informed me I should be calling the Orangeburg police department, not Haverstraw. I called the Orangeburg police department in which they informed me that this information was incorrect and it was Haverstraw police I needed to speak with. When I called back to inquire about the persons name in whom I was speaking too, I was hung up on. So basically I was either being lied to by this department or they had no interest in helping me find someone who has been missing since 2019. Someone who is diagnosed as being bi polar. Clarkstown Police Department had a wealth of information regarding said individual, however Haverstraw police department did not even have a person by that name. Someone who clearly had a license and owned a vehicle. It saddens me to know that the people of this district has such incompetent officers working for them.

(Basically had the wrong year on the registration paperwork.) Anyways, we got there, line was long and it looked like that it didn't matter if one made an appointment or not. Anyways, after waiting in line for some time, we finally got greeted at a window, and at that point all the empty windows were calling out the next customer because it was getting to closing time. Anyways, we finally got to the window, we explained our situation. Now I got it done at the Mobile DMV in Monroe the registration, so maybe Goshen had our paperwork, and could easily fix it. I could tell that the person helping us at this location was confused and unsure how to do it. However when I tried to fix it at Monroe DMV, they said it was a pretty easy fix and just requires editing the files. Here, even the supervisor came over and was like in sorry, we can't do that here, here is a number to call to help you. Oh and side note- the one working the check in window was the supervisor. So that may have explained why the check in line was long, as she needed to be there to help her employees as well. Very nice deneour though for both the supervisor and the person who helped us. We then renewed another trailers registration while we were there. We then went on our merry way. My dad called the number and had to write a letter to Albany, and they at least helped by telling us what to do.

I was walking from the NE side to the NW intersection and the police car was making a left turn onto 3rd. I had close to 20 seconds left on the walking signal, was walking briskly and was very visible in bright colors. At an accelerated speed the police car came barreling into the intersection like it was actively trying to run me over. The driver appeared to have no patience and actually sped up as it was turning in the intersection (with me in the middle of it). After nearly missing me the car managed to drive only about 20 feet onto 3rd Avenue before it got stuck in traffic that was backed up from the red light at 66th down to nearly 65th. What was the rush? Eager to run over residents of your precinct?

The officer who arrived couldn't have been nicer and quickly got my car unlocked. My wife and I appreciated that he was there so quickly (it was very cold that day) and that he was quite nice considering that it might be considered a nuisance call to get a shopper into their own locked car. He accepted our thanks, but would not accept anything more. I'm as jaded as the next person and have experienced uncaring cops from time to time, but these guys were helpful, friendly and professional. Thank you, Officer!

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.
