Despite the burden most of these men and women have encountered, the NYDP continues to mend the New York area.
The NYPD issued the following departmental update:
CRIME: There have been over 220 arrests for storm-related defenses. Burglary has risen by 2 percent. FRAUD: The NYPD reported that tow truck companies have taken advantage of those vehicles that were lost in the storm. Charges have been made for triple the amount when recovering your auto. SANITATION: Staten Island has been the center of this post-disaster. A 24-hour debris cleanup has been in affect, along with a recycle initiative.
Wall Street Rocks Battle of the Bands Final has dedicated the event efforts in aiding those affected by Hurricane Sandy. We also want to support NYC’s First Responder who are working to bring New York back on its feet.
The proceeds raised from the event that they are having on Dec 4th will go to The Salvation Army and Project Hospitality.
Both charities are directly aiding those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Wall street Rocks also wants to applaud and support NYC’s First Responder who are working to bring New York back on its feet.
