Police Officer Kane was struck and killed while directing traffic and providing protection for a work detail at the Lincoln Tunnel. Police Officer Kane had served with the Port Authority Police Department for four years and was a U.S. Army veteran. John, rest comfortably in the Lord’s eternal embrace. Always Honored, Never Forgotten.

On Thursday, October 23, at the World Trade Center, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey honored and applauded Port Authority Police Officer Victoria Yong for her recent selfless and courageous actions off duty. Yong heroically saved a person who was critically wounded by an assailant during the commission of a horrible crime. The honors were bestowed upon Yong during the PANYNJ Board of Commissioners meeting. Port Authority PBA representatives Recording Secretary Shaun Kehoe, Trustee Chairman Tariq Abdool and Trustee John Mohrman were proud to stand with Yong.

Port Authority PBA President Frank Conti was recently featured on an episode of the On Patrol With the Suffolk County PBA podcast. He spoke about the unique logistical challenges of representing members who operate across two states with differing laws. While the Port Authority spans both New York and New Jersey, President Conti emphasized the importance of staying actively engaged in the New York State Legislature, as all of his members fall under the New York State Pension System.

The Port Authority PBA wishes all who celebrate — especially our friends in the PAPD Desi Society — a blessed Diwali filled with peace and love.
