On June 29, Lt. Dawn Galvin and ECOs Auguscinski, Woyton, Wozniak, Harvey, and Dickson assisted the U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies in securing the Hudson and East River for the "NYC Invasion" event. During the event, 400 personal watercraft took to the East River and sped around the tip of Manhattan to the George Washington Bridge in the Hudson River. The various agencies involved patrolled the route to minimize impact to port traffic, ensure safe navigation for vessels, and ensure recreational boating safety was observed. Of the 400 participating watercraft, ECOs only had to respond to a single capsized rider and safely assisted the operator to shore.

Was fishing Jones inlet yesterday and these kids were zipping in and out of traffic I was stunned there wasn't a crash... we'll just saw on news 12 there was a boat/jet ski crash by Baldwin park earlier. Not good.
