Supporters recently gathered to bear witness to a riveting boxing encounter. It was not a clash between two world champions nor between professional boxers yet it was not less entertaining than one. Two prominent law enforcement organisations: the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the Suffolk County Police Department (SCPD) fought against one another in an amateur boxing card. The boxing event took place in Pro-Fit Gym in Deer Park, Long Island, New York. Though beyond the spectacle, the event raised funds for different community-based programs.
