72nd Precinct honored by Sunset Park residents with challenge coin
A small token of appreciation goes a long way.
After the deaths of NYPD Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, Sunset Park residents wanted to show officers of the 72nd Precinct their support and appreciation and did just that in the form of a coin. On Friday, February 20, members of Sunset Park Restoration (SPR) and the Sunset Park BID made their way to the station house three separate times in a single day to present challenge coins to every police officer.
The idea of how to commemorate support for the officers stemmed from the Sunset Parker Facebook page led by Tony Giordano, who is executive director of SPR.
