Assembly Resolution No. 140

BY: M. of A. Sayegh

 COMMEMORATING the 154th Anniversary of the Yonkers
 Police Department on April 10, 2025

 WHEREAS, The quality of life in New York State is largely reflective
of the commitment and dedication demonstrated by members of the agencies
which serve to protect, preserve and maintain public order; and

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
honor those distinguished citizens who devote their life's work and
purpose to public service, contributing to the care and welfare of the
citizens of the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commemorate the 154th Anniversary of the Yonkers Police Department on
Wednesday, April 10, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, The history of the Yonkers Police Department began on April
10, 1871, with only a handful of men and the authorization of the
Governor; since its humble beginnings, the City of Yonkers has grown
tremendously to become the third largest city in the State of New York,
and requires a skilled police force to keep its communities safe; and

 WHEREAS, Today, remaining true to its mission, the Yonkers Police
Department enhances the quality of life in its city by working in
cooperation with the diverse communities it serves; this vital
department protects the lives and property of its residents and those
visiting the City of Yonkers; and

 WHEREAS, By enforcing the law within the framework of the
Constitution, the dedicated members of the Yonkers Police Department
pledge to protect the people of Yonkers, preserve the peace, and
contribute to a safe environment for all; and

 WHEREAS, Furthermore, the men and women who serve this vital
organization will continue to maintain and enhance the public's trust by
asserting the highest ethical standards; and

 WHEREAS, Since its inception, the Yonkers Police Department has
demonstrated continuous service to the residents and communities which
it serves; and

 WHEREAS, The members of the Yonkers Police Department, with their
proficient skills and love for the City they so ably serve, truly
epitomize the roll of a community police department; these brave men and
women tirelessly and selflessly serve the residents of the Yonkers
community with compassion, integrity, and fairness, attributes which
will forever serve as an example for generations of officers to come;
and

 WHEREAS, The great State of New York is fortunate to have brave
public servants like the members of the Yonkers Police Department who
risk their lives in the line of duty each day to protect the residents

of our communities; no greater debt is owed than that owed to those who
are willing to put service over self; and

 WHEREAS, The tradition of altruistic public service, heroism and
leadership embodied by the Yonkers Police Department is of such
magnitude as to be worthy of special, statewide recognition; now,
therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 154th Anniversary of the Yonkers Police Department; and
be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Yonkers Police Department.
