These awards recognize gallant and meritorious actions by our first responders and are only given to the bravest of the brave. Congratulations to Police Officers Sergio Aponte and Chase L. Hill of the Special Weapons and Tactics Unit and to Firefighter/EMT Eric T. Washington of Truck Company 37. On behalf of a grateful city, thank you for your service!"
