Nassau County police Officers Anthony Albanese, Roberto Varela and Sgt. James Crawford were honored for helping to save the life of a man who had gone into cardiac arrest outside the police department’s 4th Precinct in Hewlett on April 20.
The officers were named “Top Cops” by the Nassau County Legislature at a meeting at the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building on June 18.
The incident began close to 4 p.m., when a man ran into the precinct building and told officers that his friend was in his car and had stopped breathing; the two had been on the way to a doctor as friend was not feeling well.
