Pheffer Amato Honors RNSP Officer for Removing Machete from Streets
Last Thursday, Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D-Far Rockaway) presented a citation to Shmuel Russell, a Far Rockaway resident who volunteers with the Rockaway-Nassau Safety Patrol. Russell was out on patrol with the RNSP around Far Rockaway in August when he noticed a person stalking around with a machete, who
was, as the RNSP puts it, “looking for trouble.” Russell called in help, which resulted in the arrest of the man and the confiscation of the machete. “When you really take a deep dive into a community, you can augment safety, comfort and connectedness – and since 2012, the RNSP has been living proof of that concept,” Pheffer Amato said. “They’re totally professional – they patrol, surveil and are trained to maintain safety, working hand-in-hand with police, but not trying to do the NYPD’s job. Shmuel Russell represents the best of this tradition. We’re so grateful for his vigilance and that of the whole Rockaway-Nassau Safety Patrol!”
