Port Authority Police Officer Dennis Novello was selected as the Port Authority PBA May 2021 Cop of the Month.
On May 21, 2021, Police Officer Novello was on patrol and observed a female with a knife in her hand. The suspect was approaching a male in an aggressive manner. P.O. Novello immediately intervened causing the suspect to turn her attention and the knife toward Officer Novello. Police Officer Novello was able to de-escalate the confrontation using verbal commands resulting in the suspect dropping the knife. P.O. Novello was then able to take the suspect into custody without injury to anyone involved.
Police Officer Novello used restraint and relied on his training to successfully end a dangerous situation. Police Officer Novello's actions were consistent with the high standards and traditions of the Port Authority Police Department and the Port Authority PBA.

Port Authority police officers, and all law enforcement officers, experience tragic and sad occurrences throughout their careers. Some of the events do not capture the public's attention but greatly affect those involved. Others may be on a large scale that stay with one forever. One of those was TWA Flight 800 that departed JFK Airport on July 17, 1996, and exploded off Long Island 12 minutes later. All 230 passengers perished. The Port Authority arranged for the Ramada Hotel at JFK to house the families of those lost. Port Authority police officers protected the families and their privacy for 30 days at what became, The Heartbreak Hotel."
The following is a three-part WABC-TV video featuring reporter Josh Einiger about The Heartbreak Hotel. It is certainly worth viewing.
The gripping docuseries from WABC-TV, "Heartbreak Hotel: Flight 800, 25 Years Later," debuts Friday.
