Commending Lieutenant Gregory R. Jankowiak upon the occasion of his designation as recipient of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New York State Senate

AI Summary

This resolution commends Lieutenant Gregory R. Jankowiak of the New York State Police for receiving the Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the New York State Senate, in recognition of his heroic actions on July 25, 2024. While off-duty, Lieutenant Jankowiak encountered an unconscious bicyclist without a pulse and immediately took life-saving action by blocking traffic, performing CPR, contacting 9-1-1, and directing other motorists to create a safety barricade. His quick and professional response ultimately helped save the victim's life, as the bicyclist later required open-heart surgery and personally thanked Jankowiak. The resolution praises the lieutenant for his courage, calm demeanor, and exceptional dedication to public service, highlighting how his spontaneous heroic act exemplifies the selfless commitment of public servants who risk their own safety to help others in need. The New York State Senate formally commends Lieutenant Jankowiak and will transmit an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to him as a formal recognition of his extraordinary actions.
