Nassau County Police Marine Bureau officers were aboard Marine 1 to welcome the widows and orphans of NYPD officers as they got underway for a day of fluke fishing last month.

 

The outing was sponsored by the NYPD Police Anchor Club, founded in 1922 by members of the New York City Police Department who were members of the Knights of Columbus. The Anchor Club has provided annual programs for all the widows and children of deceased members of the NYPD, both line of duty and non-line of duty.

The NYPD Police Anchor Club held the fluke fishing trip aboard the Freeport-based party boat, the Capitol Princess on Thursday, August 12. Over 45 parents, volunteers and supporters accompanied 25 children as they headed out for a half-day of fishing fun on the district waterways of Nassau County. 

 

NCPD Marine Bureau officers Ed Carlson and Ryan Clauss were there to wish them good luck on their outing.
