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, September 12, 2024, National Police Women's Day.
The Port Authority PBA always recognizes the great women of the PAPD for their dedication, courage and sacrifice.
The Port Authority PBA especially acknowledges Captain Kathy Mazza, E.O.W. 9/11/2001. On that infamous day, Captain Mazza put others before herself. Her selfless actions allowed many to live. Captain Mazza's body was recovered next to the remains of a woman in a rescue chair who Captain Mazza refused to leave while desperately trying to save the woman's life. There is no greater love.

On September 11, 2001, thirty-seven Port Authority Police Officers were killed in the line-of-duty at the World Trade Center. The thirty-seven Port Authority police officers lost was, and still is, the greatest number of line-of-duty deaths suffered by a police department in a single incident in the history of American law enforcement. Certainly, an unwanted distinction but one embraced by every Port Authority police officer.
Since that horrible day, the sacrifice has continued. Just as we will always honor and remember the PAPD37, we also honor and remember the sixteen Port Authority police officers who have succumbed to 9/11 related illnesses contracted during their heroic work in the nine months of the World Trade Center Rescue and Recovery.End Of Watch - Post 9/11

The whopping total is 3,830% greater than the death toll for the tragedy itself: 430 heros were killed in the Twin Tower collapse and rescue mission.
