(Long Island, NY) Nassau County Presiding Officer Norma Gonsalves will join Nassau County PBA President James Carver in honoring a Nassau Police Officer and two Advanced Medical Technicians (AMTs) as “Cop of the Month” on Monday, June 15, 2015 at 1:00 pm at the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola, NY.
In December of 2014, the Third Precinct received a call about a woman who was pregnant and in premature labor. Upon arrival at the scene, the woman was found to have already delivered, and the newborn was blue in color, not breathing and with a very low and almost non-existent heartbeat. Police Officer Michael Siarkowicz of the 3rd Pct. and AMT personnel Matthew Beshlian and Ryan Makovy began CPR on the newborn and continued during transport to the hospital. Upon arrival at the hospital, the newborn was breathing, it’s color improved and had a stronger and increased heart rate. Due to the efforts of these men the newborn survived.
The Nassau Police PBA and the Nassau County Legislature awards its “Cop of the Month” distinction to Nassau County Police Officers and first responders for their superlative and outstanding efforts in the line of duty.
