The NYPD 69th Precinct posted to Twitter several images of the event, with the caption, "Thank you @AltidorKenny for bringing #Canarsie together for this wonderful event. Thank you @SenatorPersaud @GGbrazel @MoonsamCecil, Councilman Maisel, our #youth and entire #community. What a great gesture to wash our cars! We are proud and privileged to serve and protect you!
One volunteer says he hopes activities like this will help to strengthen the relationship between the community and the officers.
