October 29th, 2009 ~ Public Safety & Police Department Honors Citizens Community Safety is the primary goal of all public safety professionals. To reach our goal, we must understand that the quality and level of community safety is influenced by many factors. One major factor is the quality and professionalism of public safety professionals like EMS, Fire, and criminal justice agencies and how well they integrate their service with one another during an emergency to provide a coordinated response to the public. These public safety services provide the links of every community’s safety chain. That chain, therefore, is only as strong as the weakest link. There is an additional component that is often not considered, yet inevitably has an important role in just how strong our community’s safety is, and that is the willingness of our every day citizens to become engaged and take an active part in keeping their community safe. It is with great pleasure that the police department recognizes a number of individuals in our community’s safety chain. It is through the distinguished level of professionalism of the various public safety organizations and our most important link, our citizens, that I believe Saratoga Springs is one the safest communities in our nation. Every person appearing here today to be honored is a working model of why our community enjoys the standard of safety we have. We will introduce you to people from many components in our community safety chain today, and provide you information about a day in their life where they made a difference, where lives were saved and violent criminals were arrested and brought to justice. We will also introduce you to a few people who on a daily basis by way of their professionalism and work ethic to serve others, have helped make our community safe. The department will not be honoring all who are worthy today, but rather those persons who are not sworn police officers both within and outside Saratoga Springs. Those individual police officers will be recognized at a later date. Edward F. Moore, Chief of Police
Chief Edward Moore, with DA Jim Murphy, Public Safety Commissioner Ron Kim and Asst. Chief Chris Cole in right background Awards in four categories were presented to various members of the community in a ceremony held October 29th, 2009 at 2:00PM in the City Council Room.

Chief Moore thanked Sergeant Catone and members of the awards committee, Lieutenant John King, Investigator Dave Levanites, Sgt. Sean Briscoe, PO's Kevin Johnson & Glen Barrett for their extensive work over the last eighteen months on this program as well as the departmental decorations being given at a later date to police officers both from Saratoga Springs as well as other municipal, state and federal law enforcement officers who have assisted our department on major investigations.

Commendation Lindsey Ferguson The Distinguished Service Commendation
The Civilian Service Commendation On October 31st, 2005 just before 5:30 PM, seventeen year old student and cross country track star Lindsey Ferguson left the Saratoga Springs High School locker room following cross country practice and walked to the student parking lot. As she approached her car, she saw a van pulled very close to her driver’s side and a middle aged man sitting in the rear seat alone. As Lindsey side stepped between the cars and was about to open her driver’s side door, she heard the van door slide open. Before she could turn around she was violently grabbed from behind by this man. He held her in a bear hug from behind while trying to cover her mouth and pull her into his van. Ms. Ferguson began to scream for help while violently struggling to break free from her attacker. She then delivered some forceful backward kicks, breaking his hold while falling forward into her car. As this attack was occurring, teacher and former XC runner Ray Harrington heard the screams for help and ran towards the area. He observed a man trying to pull Lindsey Ferguson into his van and saw her break free as he arrived at the scene. He yelled loudly at the attacker, demanding an explanation from him of his actions. Mr. Harrington’s presence caused the abductor to retreat into his van, whose engine was running. At great risk to his own safety, Mr. Harrington stood in the path of the van as the abductor began to drive forward. He quickly called the police on his cell phone, reported what was occurring, and provided police the suspect’s description and license plate. While standing in the vans path and delaying his escape, he also yelled to Coach Art Kranick telling him what was occurring. Mr. Harrington was forced to yield to the van for his own personal safety, but his delaying tactic provided Mr. Art Kranick enough time to jump into his convertible and begin to pursue the abductor’s car as it fled the crime scene. Mr. Kranick began his vehicular pursuit while shouting from his open car to the offender to stop. At the same time, his wife Linda Kranick joined Ray Harrington, who was still in communication with the police. Mrs. Kranick made contact with her husband via cellular telephone and began to relay information from her husband to Mr. Harrington, who was in communication with police. This link provided real time location and direction of travel of the abductor to police. Art Kranick continued his pursuit of the offender through various neighborhoods in the inner west side of the city while repeatedly yelling for the offender to pull over. The offender did just that on Beekman Street. Mr. Kranick exited his car and demanded an explanation from the offender of his actions, with no regard for his own personal safety. He was able to delay this offender while responding police officers were guided by Linda Kranick and Ray Harrington to his location. Police officers took the offender, identified as John Regan from Waterbury CT, into custody. Lindsey Ferguson and these three teachers collectively thwarted Lindsey’s attempted abduction by John Regan, and then directly aided police in the rapid apprehension of this dangerous and violent serial offender. John Regan was out on bail on unrelated sexual assault and kidnapping charges from two separate cases in the state of Connecticut when this incident occurred. John Regan was prosecuted by DA James Murphy in this case, convicted for attempted kidnapping, and sentenced to a lengthy prison term. Publicity from this attack aided Connecticut authorities in their cases and Regan was subsequently convicted in Connecticut and sentenced to additional prison terms. This case was featured nationally in a two hour Dateline story. The Department of Public Safety and members of the Saratoga Springs Police Department commend Lindsey Ferguson for her bravery during her moment of terror. She did exactly the right things under the circumstances; scream for help to ensure bystanders could come to her aid and resist with all her power against a violent felon much larger than herself. She bought herself the time necessary for the next links in the chain to come to bear and stop John Regan in his tracks, Ray Harrington and the Kranicks. We also commend the three teachers involved for their cool and calm demeanor under the most stressful of situations any citizen could find themselves in. Their presence of mind and outright bravery in the face of real danger illustrate their deep commitment as teachers entrusted with the safety of our young. Each succeeded beyond imagination in ending this attack and aiding police in this violent criminal’s ultimate arrest and removal from society with a lengthy prison sentence. You are each commended as model citizens of our community, the kind of citizen who directly impact the quality of life and safety we enjoy in Saratoga Springs through your selfless actions to help others. Ms. Lindsay Ferguson could not attend the presentation ceremony due to a prior college athletic engagement out of state.

The Civilian Service
Commendation On November 7th, 2007 at 6:58 AM while out jogging, Holli Mulholland noticed smoke coming from a large apartment building at 160 Lincoln Avenue. She approached the building and began looking into windows and confirmed that there was a working fire inside one of the apartments and was quickly filling with smoke. Ms. Mulholland flagged down a passing motorist, Mr. Robert Bullock, and informed him of the situation. Mr. Bullock immediately called emergency services to respond to the location. Holli Mulholland and Robert Bullock then made a conscious decision to enter the burning building and alert the occupants, working from the areas closest to the fire and then to the upper floor. Within a short time, they were joined by patrol officer Kristen VanWert of the Saratoga Springs Police Department. Ms. Mulholland and Mr. Bullock, without regard for their own safety and working collaboratively, systematically covered the entire building, knocking on apartment doors and awaking numerous tenants. Their efforts resulted in the safe evacuation of all residents. Responding police officers credited these two citizens’ actions with averting serious injury or death to multiple residents due to their alert and quick action. The Department of Public Safety and members of the Saratoga Springs Police Department congratulate Ms. Holli Mulholland and Mr. Robert Bullock for their bravery during this perilous moment. Their willingness to extend themselves beyond their own safety to ensure the safety of a fellow citizen in danger is a testament to their selfless commitment to others. Citizens such as you two greatly enhance the safety of all citizens of our community, and your efforts are hereby commended.
The Samaritan Award On November 21st, 2007 at about 6:20 PM David Hesselfeldt, an employee working at the Saratoga Hotel, heard screams for help coming from the hotel pool area. Mr. Hesselfeldt ran to the pool and found an unresponsive three year old male, the apparent victim of a swimming accident. The child’s father had just pulled him from the pool. Mr. Hasselfeldt immediately performed C.P.R. on the child and was able to expel water by tipping the child on his side and applying pressure to his abdomen. Mr. Hesselfeldt was then assisted by the night manager, Mr. James Tino, and the two men were able to revive the child before EMS personnel arrived on the scene. Both David Hesselfeldt and James Tino attended to this young family through the duration of this crisis providing them with necessary aid and assistance, and are credited with saving the life of their three year old son. Their actions that evening exemplify how good citizens enhance our community’s safety above and beyond that which we expect from our public safety first responders. Public Safety professionals recognize that our success is closely linked to citizens like Mr. Hesselfeldt’s and Tino’s willingness to become involved and take action. The Police department commends you both as citizens who exemplify why our community is one of the safest to reside.
Distinguished Service
Commendation Mark Benecquista is the director of the city’s Department of
Public Safety Traffic Maintenance Bureau. He also possesses an uncanny expertise
in electronics by nature of his profession. Beginning in the summer of 1997 and
continuing to the present, members of the police department’s Investigations
Division have requested Mr. Benecquista’s technical assistance on issues
involving electronics used during commission of crimes, as well as
troubleshooting departmental electronic equipment used for investigative
purposes. Investigators recovered packaging of certain electrical components from a suspect vehicle search. Mr. Benecquista was asked if based on the one component found at the crime scene and the limited packaging found in the vehicle, could such a device be built that would be capable of disabling a vehicle by remote control. He built an exact replica of what these career criminals used, and demonstrated it working on the victims vehicle, which was held as evidence. He later provided testimony at trial, resulting in convictions and imprisonments of all three defendants. Mr. Benecquista has also rendered aid utilizing his electronics expertise to Investigators working on narcotics trafficking investigations in every instance asked, and often on his own personal time. That assistance has involved building and repairing video and audio equipment for a variety of investigative purposes for use in these sensitive investigations. Such equipment is instrumental in obtaining crucial evidence in numerous illegal drug trafficking investigations and has resulted in the conviction and imprisonment of dozens of career criminals engaged in the trafficking of narcotics and other dangerous drugs on our streets. Mark Benecquista’s work with our Investigations Division has enhanced our ability to suppress illegal drug trafficking resulting in lower overall street crime and ensuring the safety of our citizens. It is with sincere appreciation of his meritorious service and outstanding contribution to law enforcement and the legal process over the last twelve years and counting that we honor Mark Benecquista here today.
DA Jim Murphy, Chief Moore, Mark Benecquista and Commissioner Ron Kim The Civilian Service
Commendation On September 5th, 2007 at 2:30 PM officers were dispatched to Four Winds Hospital on Crescent Street to assist EMS with a mental health patient. The man was not a Four Winds patient, but had just arrived with his mother and was in need of an evaluation. While responding to Four Winds, officers were informed that the young man had fled the hospital and was last seen walking easterly. Officer Adam Baker located the man at 2:50 PM on Jefferson Street at East Broadway. Officer Baker exited his patrol car and approached the man to interview him. As he did so, the man lunged towards the officer armed with a razor and slashed Officer Baker’s neck. A struggle ensued between the officer and his assailant, who repeatedly attempted to slash Officer Baker’s throat. Officer Baker was able to maintain control of the weapon and bring his assailant to the ground, as two other police officers arriving seconds behind Baker reached him to assist. Once the offender was under control, Officer Baker realized the seriousness of his throat wound, which was bleeding uncontrollably. Officer John Carey began to attend to Officer Baker’s injury while Officer John Kehoe secured the assailant in a locked police car. The assault on Officer Baker was witnessed by then thirteen year old Netasha Carleton, who had just disembarked from her school bus moments before. Upon seeing Officer’s Carey and Kehoe attempting to stop the bleeding of Officer Baker’s throat, Ms. Carleton ran into her residence and obtained a large towel and returned to the officers, handing them the towel. The towel was used to stem the bleeding until arrival of the Saratoga Emergency Corps and Fire Department paramedics. At this time, the five Emergency Corps and four fire department members took over the treatment of Officer Baker, and continued to coordinate the struggle to control his bleeding while awaiting arrival of a an Albany Med Flight helicopter to evacuate Officer Baker by air. Upon arrival of the helicopter piloted by Jaimi Comar, Officer Baker was transferred to the care of RN Walter Gould and Flight Medic Thomas Walsh, who continued efforts to control the bleeding. When Officer Baker arrived at Albany Medical Center, surgeons reported that his jugular vein had been partially severed. The coordinated efforts of Officers Carey and Kehoe, Netasha Carleton, members of the Emergency Corps, Fire Department and Albany Med Flight Crew collectively and in succession acted quickly and correctly, saving the life of Officer Adam Baker. The Department of Public Safety and members of the Saratoga Springs Police Department commend and congratulate each of the following cited individuals for their quick, decisive actions on that tragic afternoon of September 5th, 2007. Each person about to be called forward were an important and strong link in a chain of medical care provided Officer Baker, that had any one link failed, may have resulted in the loss of Officer Baker’s life. We also offer our special recognition to Netasha Carleton, thirteen year old at the time, who witnessed this horrific assault and its aftermath to Officer Baker, yet maintained her composure and took decisive action to aid the officers. She was an excellent witness for the prosecution and helped to ensure that the offender responsible for this assault was removed from society for the safety of our community. Netasha Carleton, Fire Fighter Joseph Cook, and the three members of the Albany Med Flight could not attend the presentation ceremony.

Saratoga Springs Fire Captain Pete Shaw, Fire Fighters Brian Moran and Mike Evans Unit Citation Also being cited for their performance of duty during the series of events occurring when Officer Baker was assaulted are two Public Safety Dispatchers, Sue Green and Joseph DeCrosta. Both dispatchers performed under incredibly intense pressure to coordinate the numerous radio, telephone, and NYSPIN computerized communications involved in this multi-agency critical response, all while still maintaining normal Fire, EMS and Police communications for the city. Dispatcher Green and DeCrosta distinguished themselves to effectuate the department’s mission to protect life and property, and are awarded the Unit Citation for their efforts. Dispatcher Sue Green was unable to attend the presentation ceremony.
The Distinguished
Service Commendation Mrs. Sandra Arpei first joined the Saratoga Springs Police
Department as the lone female police officer in 1973. She later separated from
service to raise her family, and rejoined the department as a public safety
dispatcher in 1997. In June of 2002 Mrs. Arpei transferred into the
Identification Clerk position, the only civilian clerical position in our
seventy-two officer police department. Upon taking her position, there was an
immense backlog of administrative duties in filing certain criminal records, as
well as an immense need for reorganization and streamlining of the department’s
filing of hard records. Many of these issues were created by lack of clerical
personnel and adequate space within the physical workplace. Sandy quickly became
acclimated with the ID Clerk duties, and set about clearing backlogs of court
sealing orders and a myriad of other filing and retention issues to bring our
police department into compliance. She made recommendations for storage
solutions, and reorganized the filing of hard records to streamline efficiency
within the department. In addition, she has taken on an assortment of clerical
duties as they arose to ensure that police officers could concentrate on police
related duties in the field. She has consistently performed above and beyond in
all areas, while engaged daily in an assortment of regular administrative
duties, including gathering all documents related to FOIL and police department
record requests, performing daily fingerprinting of criminal defendants and
civilians, preparing and disseminating monthly and annual crime reports to FBI
and DCJS, and completing numerous other tasks.

Sandra Arpei receiving her award and being congratulated by DA Murphy
Not Present to receive their awards, but duly recognized at today's ceremony were the following individuals and cases cited below: The Civilian Service
Commendation On November 23rd, 2007 at 12:01 AM the police department
received a report of a one car accident with serious injury on Nelson Avenue
near the Saratoga Gaming and Raceway. Officer Mark Leffler arrived at the
accident scene at 12:04 AM and found an unresponsive injured man partially
ejected, with his lower body trapped inside the passenger compartment. The
engine area was burning, with flames rapidly moving into the passenger
compartment. Mr. Sowden made a conscious decision to extend himself beyond his own safety to provide prompt action to aid this accident victim, and assisted Officer Mark Leffler in saving the victim’s life. Your bravery and selfless concern for your fellow man are commended by the Department of Public Safety and the men and women of the Saratoga Springs Police Department. The Civilian Service Commendation Jay DeRusso On February 10, 2005 Mr. Jay DeRusso called Police HQ to report a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle on Clinton Street following a heavy snowfall. Police officers responded and located the victim, a Clinton Street resident who had been engaged in snow removal at the end of his driveway. He was unresponsive and lying on the shoulder of Clinton Street by his driveway fatally injured, having been struck by a passing vehicle. A bystander at the scene reported to officers that the vehicle involved fled the scene. During a subsequent police investigation, Mr. DeRusso provided key witness information that was instrumental in identifying the operator of the vehicle that struck and killed the pedestrian. That driver was the motorist originally at the scene, who was attempting to deceive police by alleging the person who struck and killed the victim had left the scene. Absent the willingness of Mr. DeRusso to involve himself in this incident by calling police and advising he was a witness, and then cooperating with officers investigating this incident, the investigation may have had a different outcome as an unsolved hit and run fatality causing further emotional trauma to the victim’s family. The offender was arrested and successfully prosecuted as a result of Mr. DeRusso’s help. The Department of Public Safety and members of the Saratoga Springs Police Department congratulate Mr. Jay DeRusso for his deep commitment as a citizen willing to aid the police department in fulfilling their mission to protect the citizens of Saratoga Springs. The Civilian Service Commendation William Whiting On June 7th 2007 at 2:41 PM the police department received a holdup alarm from the Saratoga National Bank on South Broadway. A lone man entered the bank and handed the teller a note demanding money and stating he had a gun. After receiving $13,250.00 in cash from the terrified young female teller, he fled the scene. Responding police units began a massive search for the suspect while public safety dispatchers began queries of public transportation and provided a suspect description alert through the community and area law enforcement. Mr. William Whiting was in the area of the bank robbery at the same time and driving a taxi cab. He unknowingly picked up the man who had moments before robbed the Saratoga National Bank on South Broadway. Mr. Whiting, in cooperation with a dispatcher from the Taxi Central Dispatch office, told his customer he had to pick up another fare and then drove the customer up to police involved in the bank robbery investigation and informed them where he picked up his customer. This customer fit the description of the bank robber. Subsequent questioning and other observations made by the officers led to probable cause to believe that the cab customer was involved in the robbery. The actions taken that afternoon by Mr. Whiting were of great assistance in the police department’s investigation, the suspect’s apprehension, and the recovery of all of the $13,250.00 in cash taken during the robbery. The offender was subsequently convicted and sentenced to state prison. The Department of Public Safety and members of the Saratoga
Springs Police Department congratulate Mr. William Whiting for the valuable aid
he provided members of the police department in apprehending this violent felon.
Citizens like you greatly enhance the ability of law enforcement to protect the
citizens of our community, and your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Lt. Greg Veitch, Investigator Shane Crooks, Lt's John King, Mike Chowske & Linda Quattrini at awards ceremony December 3, 2008 ~ Adam Baker receives NYSACoP Medal of Honor The New York State Association of Chiefs of Police (Association) bestowed its prestigious Medal of Honor upon five police officers in a well-attended midday ceremony in Utica, New York on Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Utica’s Commissioner of Public Safety Daniel LaBella welcomed the audience that gathered at the Mohawk Valley Community College’s Information and Technology Building in Utica. The Association’s Executive Director, John P. Grebert (Chief of Police/Retired, Colonie, NY) addressed the audience saying, “We are grateful for the opportunity to come here today to publicly thank and honor the service of five particular police officers.” Grebert added, “Please know that we appreciate the honor and service that these fine men have given to their communities.” The Association’s Second Vice President, Margaret E. Ryan (Chief of Police, Dryden, NY) also spoke to those who had gathered, saying, “It should be comforting to the citizens in our communities to know that when there is crisis – cops will be there. Where others would run from flames or flee from bullets, cops persevere. They dive in.” Chief Ryan added, “It is an honor for me to be here in the presence of so many officers and families who represent what I consider to be the highest calling in service to our fellow man.” The Medal of Honor is a prestigious award, steeped in the traditions of the Association and recognizes the ‘best of the best’ in law enforcement. Chief Ryan commented, “While this is our Association’s most esteemed award, it represents the admiration of service, the dedication of spirit, and service with great honor.” She added, “I am honored to be among such great heroes in law enforcement.” The Medal of Honor is bestowed upon a full-time, salaried member of a duly constituted police department of a municipality of the State of New York who has performed an act of heroism above and beyond the call of duty. Recommendations must be made by either the commanding or superior officer of the nominee. Officer Baker was nominated by Chief of Police Ed Moore, and is the first member of the Saratoga Springs Police Department to win this prestigious award. The Medal was presented to Officer Baker for actions during the afternoon of September 5th, 2007, when Officer Baker received a radio call of a mental health patient who had fled from a hospital. He soon located the subject. Saratoga Springs Police Chief Edward F. Moore described the events in the nomination for the award: "As Officer Baker drew within several feet of the suspect, the man lunged toward Baker while drawing a razor from his pocket, slashing the officer’s throat with the weapon. A violent struggle ensued between the suspect and the officer as the suspect repeatedly attempted slashing at the officer's throat with the razor. Officer Baker was grievously injured by the first slash, suffering a deep laceration across his throat that partially severed his jugular vein. Though bleeding profusely, Officer Baker maintained his composure, shouting a verbal warning to other officers that the suspect was armed with a razor, and continued his struggle with the assailant, bringing the man to the ground while maintaining control over the weapon until his backup could assist.” Because of the severity of his wound, Officer Baker was airlifted to Albany Medical Center for emergency surgery. His surgeon later commented that the officer survived this life threatening injury by mere fractions of an inch. Chief Moore joined Grebert and Ryan for the presentation of the Medal of Honor to Officer Baker at the Utica ceremony.
