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.

On Sunday, November 3, 2024, Port Authority Police Officer Bradley DeSalvo was flagged down by concerned people to a disturbance on the main concourse of the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Once on scene, PO DeSalvo interviewed a 17-year-old female from which he determined she was strangled by her 25-year-old "boyfriend" who also took her cellphone. While DeSalvo was gathering information, the suspect returned, threw phone at the victim and officers on the scene, and fled. A description and direction of flight was broadcast as a foot pursuit ensued. Police Officer Kyle Parris was able to apprehend the suspect with the help of DeSalvo and Police Officer Carolina Valle, Sergeant Lenny Duque, and Sergeant Thomas Todaro.
The suspect was charged with Strangulation 2°, Assault, Resisting Arrest, and other charges, processed and released on bail.
The investigation continued by DeSalvo, PAPD Detectives, and the Manhattan District Attorney Office. A search warrant was executed on the suspect's Hell's Kitchen apartment by PAPD ESU, PAPD Detectives, and PO DeSalvo, which resulted in pivotal evidence leading to further prosecution.
Investigation revealed that the victim was held against her will by the suspect for two years. The victim stated she was raped and assaulted multiple times while being held captive.
On November 26, 2024, the suspect was re-arrested and remanded on additional charges, including Rape, Criminal Sexaul Act, Unlawful Imprisonment, Endangering the Welfare of a Child among other felonies and misdemeanors.
Outstanding work by all involved.
