The Rockland County Police Benevolent Association marked its 60th Anniversary Wednesday evening with its annual Awards Dinner at the NY Country Club, honoring the men and women of law enforcement who serve communities throughout Rockland County.
Among the honorees was Deputy Chief Jack Bosworth of the Village of Spring Valley Police Department, who received the Appreciation Award in recognition of his dedicated service and leadership to the residents of the Village of Spring Valley.
David and Joseph Gottlieb of Goosetown Communications were named Supporters of the Year for their continued support of law enforcement agencies across Rockland County. The Rockland County Police Emerald Society Pipes and Drums was presented with a Unit Citation for its longstanding service and representation of the county’s law enforcement community at events and ceremonies.
Detective John Salmon of the Town of Ramapo Police Department was also recognized for his role in the arrest and conviction of violent robbery suspects involved in a premeditated home invasion in Chestnut Ridge. The suspects forced their way into a residence armed with a bat, knife, and firearm. The final suspect was convicted in White Plains federal court several months ago on charges that included violations under the Federal Hobbs Act.
The investigation and successful prosecution were the result of coordinated efforts between local, county, and federal law enforcement partners, whose collaboration and investigative work led to the conviction of those responsible.
Guest speakers for the evening included Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco and Congressman Mike Lawler, who joined in commemorating six decades of service, sacrifice, and dedication by law enforcement officers across Rockland County.
The milestone celebration underscored the Rockland County PBA’s continued commitment to supporting officers and recognizing excellence in public safety throughout the county.
