Life-saving cops honored by state senator
It was cause for celebration on Thursday, August 28 as State Senator Marty Golden took to Bensonhurst’s 62nd Precinct to honor officers he called “heroes living among us.”
“These police officers at the 62 have done an outstanding job in the last couple of weeks, and they’ve saved lives,” said the senator, awarding Police Officers Alex Knjewski, Thomas Silla, Eric Smith, Edward Nogol and Elias Khan and Sergeant Michael Dario for their hand in three life-saving incidents in the month of August.
“With everything going on across the city, there’s been a lot of negativity towards the Police Department and we’re not hearing about the positive things that are being done,” stressed Golden, before handing the spotlight over to the honorees as well as 62nd Precinct Captain Bill Taylor.
