AUGUST 2016: NYPD OFFICER CHRISTOPHER O’NEILL NYPD Officer Christopher O’Neill, a rookie cop in the 88th Precinct who served two years as a United States Navy combat medic in Afghanistan, saved the life of a knife fight victim in Fort Greene who was bleeding out from a severed arm artery. On Saturday, August 13th, he encountered the 36-year-old victim on Carlton Avenue, upon which he rushed to his patrol car and grabbed the trauma kit from his trunk. The tourniquet that Officer O’Neill applied saved the bleeding man’s life. He stayed with the victim until EMS arrived. SEPTEMBER 2016: EDUCATOR ANTOINETTE ROSE PS 811 Connie Lekas School Principal Antoinette Rose has enriched the lives of her students with special needs through annual summer block parties in Sheepshead Bay — this year’s celebrating the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Five years ago, she began the initiative as a celebration of all of her students’ hard work during the summer months, and as one last hoorah before the school year began again in the fall. Hundreds of students, ages 12 to 21, have participated in these special gatherings. OCTOBER 2016: NYPD OFFICERS MICHAEL BRADY, CHRISTOPHER GARCIA, ARSALAN SULAIMAN, AND BRETT TELESFORD On Thursday, October 6th, Officers Brady and Sulaiman were conducting patrol at the Marcy Avenue subway station in Williamsburg when they observed a 60-year-old male enter through the turnstile area and collapse. The officers immediately began to render aid to the individual, with Officer Sulaiman initiating CPR as Officer Brady secured the scene and requested the response of EMS and a unit with a defibrillator. Officers Garcia and Telesford immediately responded to the request for assistance, running two blocks to the station with the defibrillator to avoid being stuck in unusually heavy traffic. Once on the scene, the four officers worked together with an unidentified Good Samaritan and continued to perform CPR while utilizing the defibrillator two times before the victim regained consciousness.
