Description
The Department of Sanitation and Police Department Pipe and Drum Band played a medley of traditional Irish tunes at the Fresh Kills Closing Ceremony.

The workers of Fresh Kills rose to the challenge of hosting the largest police crime scene in America, processing contaminated debris and identifying loved ones.
