The Metropolitan Transit Authority Police Department held its 10th annual awards ceremony Tuesday to honor its officers and civilians for life-saving actions and bravery and heroism beyond the call of duty.
One officer helped evacuate a burning building.
Another chased and caught an armed robber.
"What you do in terms of putting yourselves in harm’s way to keep us safe is beyond words in terms of my ability to express our thanks and appreciation for New Yorkers and for myself," said MTA Executive Director and CEO Elliot “Lee” Sander.
At the ceremony, 64 officers and three civilians were honored.
