HURRICANE IAN RELIEF REQUEST
A message from Mick McHale, president of the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO).
The Port Authority PBA is a proud and concerned NAPO member. Please read Mick McHale's letter and consider donating.
The requests for assistance are starting to come in. It is already very clear that scores, perhaps hundreds, of officers and their families will have lost their homes. In my own area, there are scores of officers who are still working but because of damage to bridges and flooding they are not able to get to their own homes, which are likely unlivable. The same will be true for hundreds of families across our state.
I am respectfully appealing to you, my brother and sister NAPO officers, not just as NAPO’s president but as a Florida officer. The need here is very great and will continue to be for months into the future.
Our brothers and sisters in law enforcement are working tirelessly to aid in the relief efforts, but they need relief as well. Many of them do not have homes to go back to anymore, and yet they will continue working to try and help others affected by the catastrophe.
In order to help our brothers and sisters, please consider making a donation to NAPO’s Relief Fund, a fully licensed and independently audited 501(c)(3) charity, to help these officers in their time of need. All donations are fully tax deductible, the federal EIN is 161619872 for your tax purposes, but, more importantly, you will be lending a hand to our fellow officers who sorely need it. All donations raised through this appeal will be used to help ease the suffering in areas affected by Hurricane Ian and assistance from our fund is open to all law enforcement officers and their families. You do not have to be a NAPO member to get help; you just have to be part of the law enforcement family.
Attached please find a donation form that you can fill in and submit. Several of our groups have reposted it to their own members. It is also up on our Facebook site and webpage with links to a PDF form that can be filled out online. Also, we have a direct donations link for our Relief Fund up and running on our website.
Here is the link to make donations: NAPO Relief Fund - Hurricane Ian
Sincerely yours,
Michael “Mick” McHale

Members of the Davies, Florida Police Department recently arranged with the New York City PBA a New York City visit to make plaque presentations to the NYPD and PAPD. Two Davies Police Honor Guard officers visited the PAPD WTC Command with NYCPBA Manhattan North Trustee Kevin Murphy and presented the command a plaque honoring the 37 Port Authority police officers killed in the line of duty on September 11, 2001. Port Authority PBA WTC Delegate Jerry Caleca represented the PAPBA. NYCPBA provided coffee and other refreshments for the visit.
The Port Authority PBA thanks the Davies Police Department for its thoughtful presentation.
The Port Authority PBA and New York City PBA enjoy a great relationship centering on goals of common interest to both organizations.

Friday, September 30, 2022, Fort Lee, New Jersey;
The Fort Lee Police Department honored Port Authority police officers for taking action and rendering aid to an injured Fort Lee police officer on August 10, 2022. The incident is described in the following earlier post by the Port Authority PBA.
Wednesday, August 10, 2022, Fort Lee, NJ;
The PAPD George Washington Bridge Command received a request from the Fort Lee Police Department to assist with a search for four males who fled from a felony car stop in the vicinity of Linwood Plaza. A report of one suspect on a cliff between a Route 4 ramp and a New Jersey Turnpike ramp brought PAPD Police Officer Peter Padilla and Sergeant Fred Corrubia to that location. Once on scene, Padilla and Corrubia observed the suspect begin to scale down the cliff just as Fort Lee Police Officer John Reuter grabbed hold of the suspect. The suspect lost his footing causing him and P.O. Reuter to plunge from the cliff. P.O. Padilla, with the help of an unknown off-duty police officer, captured the fleeing suspect, handcuffing him. Sgt. Corrubia immediately went to the aid of P.O. Reuter, who was transported to a hospital by Fort Lee EMS for evaluation and treatment.
Additional Fort Lee PD units were able to apprehend the remaining three suspects.
Outstanding coordination and work by two great law enforcement agencies. A job well done.
The Port Authority PBA thanks the Fort Lee Police Department and Fort Lee Police Chief Matthew J. Hintze for acknowledging the aid provided by the PAPD.

The Port Authority Police Department recently lost two great and dear friends, Ed Mosberg and Rabbi Yanky "Jack" Meyer.
Ed Mosberg, a Holocaust survivor, addressed PAPD Academy classes on the horrors of the Holocaust and hate. Mr. Mosberg's classes about his Holocaust experiences were critical to the discussions and understanding of tolerance. He was so beloved the PAPD awarded him the title of Honorary Port Authority Police Academy Instructor.
Rabbi Jack Meyer was a PAPD Chaplain who was a spiritual backbone to the courage possessed by PAPD police officers. The memories of Rabbi Jack will always include his comforting words as he ministered to police officers in difficult assignments, especially during the World Trade Center Rescue and Recovery Mission. Rabbi Jack was never afraid to sprinkle a healthy dose of humor in his words of encouragement and solace.
The members of the PAPD are blessed to have these two extraordinary gentlemen in their lives. May they rest in the Lord's eternal embrace.
Baruch Dayan HaEmet
