  • Wednesday, October 15, 2025, George Washington Bridge; Port Authority Police Officers Stanley O'Neil (L) and Cesar Moreno were on patrol when they observed a man climbing to the top of the fence on the George Washington Bridge North Walkway high over the Hudson River. Both officers acted swiftly, exiting their patrol vehicle, jumped a steel barrier, and closed distance with man. It became apparent that the man was distraught and contemplating ending his life. Using their training and compassionate understanding, O'Neil and Moreno created a dialogue with the man and were able to convince the man to return to safety. The man was transported to a hospital for the care he needed. Another life saved by the PAPD. #PAPD #PAPBA #PAPDGWB #georgewashingtonbridge #papdprotectsnynj
  • Saturday, October 11, 2025, Manhattan, NYC; Port Authority Police Department PATH Command police officers were alerted to a dog that was reported missing from its Jersey City home for numerous days. The dog, a Shiba Inu named Shohei, was seen on the loose in the PATH system, wandering the tracks between New Jersey and New York. PATH officers requested the PAPD Emergency Service Unit (ESU) to assist with the search. PAPD ESU Trucks 5 and 1 responded. In order to begin the search, the PATH Train Master had to cut all electric power to the tracks in the search area. Once the train master confirmed all power was off, the search began. Officers canvassed the area of the PATH WTC Station Track 2. Shohei was located, contained using an animal net, and transported to VEG Veterinary Emergency Hospital in Hoboken, NJ, and reunited with its owners. Great work by PATH Patrol, PAPD ESU, PATH Train Master and PATH Operations. #PAPD #PAPDPATH #PATH #PATHTrainMaster #PATHOperations #PAPESU #PAPBA #papdprotectsnynj
