Honors to the NYPD and a Special Hero
On March 12 the Rotary Club of New York celebrated Police Recognition Day for the 46th year. We honored Police Officer Rosa Rodriguez, this year's hero, with a plaque and were given an overview on the NYPD and the latest task forces and technologies by Assistant Police Chief Terrence Monahan. RCNY also presented a Grant check to the NYPD Foundation to Asst. Chief Monahan.
 
RCNY annually honors a special member of the NYPD who has made an important contribution and has had impact on their Community with his/her heroic actions

About Police Officer Rosa Rodriguez:
Apr 6, 2014, Police Officer Rodriguez and her partner Police Officer Dennis Guerra responded to a fire on the 13th floor of a New York City Housing development in Coney Island. As they emerged from the elevator, Police Officers Rodriguez and Guerrero were overcome by smoke and carbon monoxide. Both unconscious Officers were transported to nearby hospitals. Police Officer Rodriguez sustained serious and lasting injuries as a result of her bravery and commitment to the City of New York. She did not hesitate to risk her life to save others.
