 There was a RI311 See Click Fix report of:

The police department has failed to secure their dog traing equipment with a huricane about to hit New York

I asked RIOC about the K9 Dog Training equipment still in the Southtown lot. Community Relations Specialist Erica Wilder replied:

Keith Guerra has contacted the NYPD K-9 Lieutenant who will be sending a team of officers to attempt to secure the equipment inside the K-9 Training Facility.
