Incidents included a police response to a murder-suicide call involving a suspect armed with a gun, the investigation and arrests in a murder-for-hire case, the apprehension of suspects stealing motorcycles on the midnight shift, several police confrontations with armed subjects, the investigation and arrest of a student who menacing others with a loaded gun on a school bus, and numerous arrests for felony weight drugs with one including a search warrant application.
Lifesaving awards included several where officers administered Naloxone on scene for opioid overdoses, and one where Detective Procter exited his police vehicle on the Tappan-Zee Bridge and physically restrained a distraught man who was going to commit suicide. One citizen was presented with the Civilian Service Award for rendering assistance to our Department with respect to an attempted murder investigation.
