The sudden passing of Probationary Police Officer Edgar Ordonez has filled this department with sadness, and has left a void in our hearts. This afternoon, fellow recruits, officers, & members of the public lined up for his dignified transfer in a solemn tribute to this young officer.
There is never moment of hesitation by NYPD officers to put the safety of others ahead of their own — even with a train barreling down. Kudos to these great cops for saving a man who fell onto the subway tracks after a medical episode. We’re lucky to count them as New York’s Finest!
