How do you find happiness in today’s world? Dr. Peter Killeen discusses the importance of focusing on self-care during these challenging times and the potential post-pandemic obstacles Americans may face as we work towards returning to normalcy.
Watch the testimonial from Police Officer Patrick Gorman, son of Port Authority Police Officer Thomas Gorman, as he talks about why he chose to follow in his father’s footsteps and join the ranks of the Port Authority Police Department.
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.
We always honor and remember Port Authority Police Officer John J. Kane, E.O.W. 10/26/1950.
Police Officer Kane was struck and killed by a truck as he was providing protection for a work detail in the Lincoln Tunnel. He was 31 years old and a United States Army veteran. He was survived by his wife and two children. Police Officer Kane served with the Port Authority Police Department for four years.
John, rest in the Lord's eternal embrace. Always Honored, Never Forgotten.

Chairman Kevin O'Toole and the Port Authority of NY & NJ Board of Commissioners honored and acknowledged the actions taken on Sunday, October 13, 2024, by Port Authority Police Officers Miguel Correa-Rodriguez, Joseph Romano and Vincent LaConti, at the Port Authority's monthly Commissioners' Meeting.
On that date, the officers ended a two-state crime spree that saw a suspect carjack a vehicle in New York City, drive to New Jersey and crashed the vehicle into a Wendy's restaurant on Route 46 in South Hackensack, NJ. There, the suspect carjacked another vehicle and fled to the George Washington Bridge. On the Bridge, the vehicle, operating on only three wheels, became disabled. PAPD units were dispatched to the seen and were confronted by the suspect who became unhinged. At some point, the suspect entered a patrol vehicle in an attempt to steal the radio car. P.O. Correa-Rodriguez dove through the opened driver's window to confront the suspect who was now brandishing a knife. The suspect fought with the officer, stabbing and slashing him multiple times. Officers Romano and LaConti were able to subdue the suspect and place him in custody.
Chairman O'Toole stated, "The bravery exhibited in the line of duty by these officers is extraordinary, and it is emblematic of the commitment of every member of the PAPD to keep the people of this region safe each and every day."
The Port Authority PBA thanks Chairman O'Toole and the Board of Commissioners for honoring and acknowledging the actions of these courageous and selfless police officers.

Recently, Port Authority Police Officers Johanna Sotelo and Rondell Briggs of the PAPD PATH Command were dispatched to a possible assault in progress in the vicinity of the PATH vent building on Morton Street on the west side of Manhattan. Upon arrival, the officers heard a female voice screaming for help. The screams came from behind the Morton Street building alongside the Hudson River. The officers responded and found a male and a female who continued screaming for help. At the sight of the officers, the male fled on foot with the Biggs and Sotelo in pursuit. While trying to evade the officers, the male tripped as he attempted to climb a fence. Briggs and Sotelo apprehended the fleeing suspect.
Further investigation by Briggs and Sotelo revealed the suspect choked and raped the female. Their investigation also revealed that the suspect had prior sexaul assault arrests.
Outstanding arrest by Police Officers Sotelo and Briggs. The Port Authority PBA thanks them for their dedication and diligence, leading to the apprehension of a sexual predator.

A 42-year-old armed deranged man slashed a Port Authority police officer's head and face with a knife, along with injuring two other PAPD cops as they struggled to subdue him.
In Sunday's early morning hours, P.O. Joe Romano was dispatched to a disabled vehicle on the upper level of the New Jersey side of the George Washington Bridge. It was reported that the vehicle was being operated erratically on three wheels before stopping on the bridge.
As P.O. Romano pulled up to the scene, the vehicle's operator exited the disabled vehicle, and began pounding on Romano's radio car. Shortly after, Police Officer Miguel Correa arrived to assist Romano. When Correa left his patrol vehicle, the operator of the disabled vehicle gained access to Correa's vehicle through the front passenger side door. Correa responded by diving through the driver’s side window, that he left open, and confronted the man who was now brandishing a knife. During the struggle, the armed man slashed Correa's head and face multiple times. Romano and Police Officer Vincent Laconti rushed to aid Correa, subdued the man, and took him into custody.
It is being reported that the man stole a vehicle in New York City, driving it to South Hackensack, New Jersey, where he crashed it into a Wendy's restaurant on Route 46. There, he carjacked a Toyota Sienna, fleeing to the George Washington Bridge where his crime spree came to an end by Port Authority Police.
Port Authority PBA President Frank Conti commented on the incident, saying, "This morning, Port Authority police officers apprehended a dangerous armed carjacker who recently carjacked a vehicle and was attempting to flee in another stolen vehicle. One of our officers was attacked by the knife-wielding suspect, who was ultimately taken into custody. Three of our officers sustained injuries, thankfully non-life threatening. I applaud them for a job well done, and I'm extremely happy that no one was more seriously injured. This is yet another example of the dangers our police officers face."
The suspect is charged with Attempted Murder among other charges.
