Every year members in Law Enforcement celebrate National Police Week.  This is a time to reflect on the year gone by.  Officers who have passed away are relished and those who have accomplished are honored.  On Saturday, May 16th, the Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department paid tribute to their officers with a Commendation/Promotion Ceremony. 

Officers Malone and Clemente were officially promoted to Detective.  Several other officers were brandished with Commendation Awards. Officer Forde was specifically honored for 20 years of Service to the residents of Roosevelt Island.

The Dais was filled with dignitaries from the 19th Precinct, the 114th Precinct, Coler-Goldwater Hospital, the RIRA Public Safety Committee and RIOC.  All in all , a good time was had by all who attended.
 

As part of Health & Fitness day, the Public Safety Department, along with SafeKids NYC,  co-sponsored a Child Safety Seat Inspection Station.  Several residents were instructed on Child Safety.  Their Car Seats were installed properly in their vehicles, and they were given materials and give-aways for stopping by.  Thank you to members of SafeKids and DOT for making this important service available to our residents.
