• On Sunday, November 20, 2022, at approximately 8:30 a.m., Port Authority Operations personnel notified the PAPD LaGuardia Airport Command of a vehicle, occupied by an inattentive man, parked in an unauthorized area of Terminal C. Sergeant Mike Wilkos and Police Officers Basil Puglisi and William Mudry responded to the black BMW that had dark tinted windows and its engine running. Upon arrival, the officers attempted to rouse the man who eventually woke up. The officers were able to remove the man from the vehicle and detected the odor of alcohol on the man's breath, who also exhibited many actions of an intoxicated person. When asked where the car's keys were, the man told the officers the keys were in his coat pocket on the passenger seat and gave permission for the officers to retrieve the keys. When the coat was lifted, the officers detected an unusual weight to the coat and recovered an unlicensed, fully-loaded Glock 43, 9mm semiautomatic handgun.
  This incident is an example of what police officers face. These officers had to approach an occupied vehicle with darkened windows and not knowing the occupant was armed with a handgun. Luckily, the officers conducted their investigation with professionalism and caution as trained. Their actions resulted in removing an illegal handgun and drunk driver from the streets without any injuries to the officers or others.
  Police work is a dangerous occupation performed by selfless men and women who perform tirelessly to keep all safe.
  Great job!

• The Port Authority PBA is proud to announce Police Officers Seth Friedman and Anthony Banno of the PAPD LaGuardia Airport Command as the recipients of the Port Authority PBA, September 2022 Cops of the Month.
  On September 16, 2022, P.O. Friedman responded to a report of an individual assaulting numerous people with a machete aboard an MTA M60 bus on the lower roadway of Terminal B, LaGuardia Airport. Upon arrival on the scene and joined by P.O. Banno, the officers learned the suspect fled. Friedman and Banno received a description of the suspect and ascertained the direction of flight provided by numerous witnesses.
  The officers began a canvass and located the suspect on another MTA bus in the vicinity of 23rd Avenue and 94th Street. After stopping the bus, Friedman and Banno were able to clear the bus of all passengers, with the exception of the suspect, to prevent further assaults. The suspect was then taken into custody and found to be in possession of a machete.
  Police Officers Seth Friedman and Anthony Banno's actions were true to the finest traditions of the Port Authority Police Department and the Port Authority PBA.
  The Port Authority PBA thanks these officers and congratulates them on a job well done.
