Far Rockaway, NY (May 18, 2026)

Rockaway Nassau Shomrim held another successful bike, scooter, and device registration event on Sunday, drawing families from across the community for an afternoon focused on safety and crime prevention.

The event brought together RNSP Shomrim volunteers, NYPD Queens South, the NYPD 101st Precinct, NYPD Community Affairs, and Crime Prevention teams. Together, they helped register hundreds of bicycles, scooters, and electronic devices with identifying information that can assist in recovering lost or stolen property.

The registration program allows each item to be connected to its rightful owner through a shared system used by RNSP and law enforcement partners. If a registered item is later lost, stolen, and recovered, the identifying information can help ensure that it is traced and returned.

Families attended throughout the day, turning the safety initiative into a community event while taking practical steps to protect valuable property. Bikes, scooters, and electronic devices are frequently targeted for theft, and registration provides an added layer of protection for owners.

RNSP has long worked with local police on neighborhood safety efforts, including patrols, emergency response, missing-person searches, and crime prevention initiatives. The latest registration event is part of that broader mission to help residents take proactive steps before incidents occur.

Organizers said hundreds of registered items have been returned to their rightful owners over the years thanks to similar efforts.
