Last night, the auxiliary police department of the New York Police Department celebrated the steadfast dedication of its auxiliary members with an annual Long Service Award ceremony. This significant event recognized the unwavering commitment of auxiliary police who have served New York City for over twenty years.
On the 14th, the auxiliary police unit of the NYPD's 109th Precinct held a grand award ceremony to honor those auxiliary officers who have served the community for many years. At the ceremony, special recognition was given to a veteran, Inspector Jimmy Mitz, who has served for forty years.
Jimmy Mitz has been serving at the 109th Precinct for the past forty years. His passion and commitment to the job have earned him widespread respect and affection from the community. At the award ceremony, he said, "I love working at the 109th Precinct because it is a very diverse area. Learning about the many traditions of different ethnic groups has been very fulfilling. The residents here are very concerned about safety and always look out for each other, which is very important."
The ceremony not only recognized Inspector Jimmy Mitz but also honored several other auxiliary officers. The award ceremony proceeded amid applause and cheers, highlighting the important contributions of the auxiliary police to community safety.
During the prayer and thanksgiving segment, participants expressed gratitude for Jimmy Mitz and other auxiliary officers' selfless dedication to the community. The event also specially commemorated Officer William Wade, a former coordinator of the 109th Precinct who passed away from complications related to the 9/11 events.
This Long Service Award ceremony is a recognition of the hard work and ongoing dedication of NYPD auxiliary officers. Their efforts not only maintain community safety but also enhance police-community relations.
