Paddle for Pink!

Dragon Queens are members of New York Women in Law Enforcement, particularly NYPD officers from Patrol Borough Queens North.

NYWLE was founded in 2009 to strengthen the law enforcement community by providing women and men participants with opportunities to enhance their professional and personal lives.

Our dragon boat team was formed last summer, specifically to compete in the World Police and Fire Games in New York City, representing the organization and the host police department. We are crossing the Hudson to join our New Jersey neighbors and their families to Paddle for Pink in support of this special community service project. Paddles up!
