What We Do
Port Authority Police officers cover a wide array of responsibilities. Our officers must be prepared to engage a terrorist target at a moment’s notice while having the grace to respectfully connect with a runaway child.

Thursday, November 7. 2024, Closter, NJ,
Port Authority Police Emergency Service Unit Trucks 2 and 6 responded to the Palisade interstate State Line Lookout in Closter, New Jersey, on a mutual aid call with the Palisade Interstate Parkway Police Department to rescue four hikers.
The hikers, a family of two adults and two children, apparently wandered off a trail and became stranded on a cliff face high above the Hudson River.
Port Authority ESU Police Officers Justin Lhuiller, Christopher Mangan, Stephen Nicola and Mike Rodriguez, along with Sergeant Chris Paskovich assessed the situation and determined a rope rescue was necessary.
A rope rescue system was set up, lowering one ESU officer to the cliff. One individual at a time was safely secured in a resuce harness and raised up the cliff to safety. After approximately two and one half hours, the rescue was safely completed with the entire family firmly on safe ground.
A great job by the PAPD Emergency Service Unit!
