U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Statement on Tragedies Affecting NYPD 100th Precinct Police Officers

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Gregory W. Meeks released the following statement regarding the tragic passing Police Officer Vincent Harrison and cardiac arrest of Captain Matthew Hanrahan this weekend:

"I offer my deep condolences to the family and friends of Police Officer Vincent Harrison who was tragically killed in a hit-and-run incident Sunday. Officer Harrison graduated from the Police Academy in 2014, following in his brother’s footsteps, and was stationed in the 100th precinct proudly serving the Rockaway Peninsula. Officer Harrison was a victim of a senseless act committed by a reckless individual and I hope that the suspect is brought swiftly to justice. Unfortunately, this news comes on the heels of the 100th Precinct Executive Officer, Captain Matthew Hanrahan recovering from a cardiac arrest. This is an extremely harrowing time for the NYPD community and I join them and the Rockaway community in mourning our fallen officer and wish Officer Hanrahan a full and speedy recovery.”
