69th Precinct Honors Newest Cops Of the Month
Police Officer Emad Badir was awarded for making arrests of suspects after he responded to a December burglary at East 105th Street. Badir pulled over a van, which fit the description of the vehicle that fled the scene, with the five alleged criminals inside it. Officers with the Anti-Crime Unit (pictured below) were also honored for arrests made last month. "This team of officers patrols the community specifically looking for suspicious activity. Their eyes are all over the place and their arrests aren't results of 911 calls," Monteforte said. "The three officers noticed someone coming out of a backyard, who appeared suspicious and armed with a firearm coming out of his waistband." While patrolling at the Breukelen Houses, police officers Paul O'Connor and Bogdan Tabor (below) were randomly going in and out of the buildings when, according to Monteforte, they came across five or six suspicious individuals who were "just hanging out by the window smoking marijuana in one of the hallways." As the officers approached them, a gun fell to the ground. The officers quickly realized the weapon was fake, but after a small struggle with some of them, they found one suspect with a .40-caliber automatic.
