On June 14, 2017 the officers and staff of Boston Police District E-13 held the 1st Annual Jamaica Pond Fishing Derby for Kids, “Catch & Release with the Boston Police.”

On June 24, the officers and staff of Boston Police District E-13 held the 1st Annual Jamaica Pond Fishing Derby for Kids called “Catch & Release with the Boston Police.” The derby was a tremendous success, in spite of some moments of heavy rainfall. Approximately 100 local children, aged 5- to 15-years-old, along with their families, enjoyed hours of fishing, food, music, demonstrations, trophies, prizes and raffle gifts. The happy smiles from young and old were too many to count throughout the day.
