South Queens community leaders, elected officials, and City Police Department brass recently recognized the bravery and courage of the men and women of the NYPD at the 106th Precinct Annual Medal Day Ceremony held at Resorts World Casino last Wednesday. It was an opportunity to recognize those who go above and beyond the call of duty and included not only police officers, but also crossing guards, and other civilian members of the department, noted State Sen. Joe Addabbo, Jr. (D-Woodhaven).
“Such a beautiful celebration of the bravery and heroism displayed each and every day by New York’s Finest at the 106th Precinct Medal Day!” City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park) said.

Their remarkable service ensures the safety and security of our communities, and it is only fitting that we gather here to recognize their valor,” Addabbo said of New York’s Finest.
“I am honored to stand here today and commend the exceptional bravery and unwavering dedication displayed by the men and women of the NYPD. Their remarkable service ensures the safety and security of our communities, and it is only fitting that we gather here to recognize their valor,” Addabbo added. “From police officers to crossing guards and civilian members, everyone plays a crucial role in upholding the values of our great city and the protection of others. We owe them our deepest gratitude and unwavering support. I would also like to offer my condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the line of duty including, most recently, Crossing Guard Krystyna Naprawa. They will never be forgotten.”
