We are deeply saddened by the passing of NYPD Chief Chaplain Rabbi Dr. Alvin Kass. For nearly 60 years, he was a steady source of strength and compassion for New York City’s finest and their families—offering faith, dignity, and care in their hardest moments. His ministry meant so much to our trusted partners at the NYPD. Our hearts are with his family, the NYPD, and the Chaplains Unit. May his memory be a blessing. (fb)

Even off duty, heroes don’t hesitate. While visiting a Cincinnati waterpark, Acting Sergeant Aaron Dossey spotted a young boy face down at the bottom of the pool. He rushed in, pulled the child from the water, and found no pulse. After dozens of CPR compressions — and with quick help from a lifeguard — the boy gasped for air, then regained consciousness before medics even arrived. We’re proud to honor Acting Sergeant Aaron Dossey as our National First Responders Day EMS Hero, representing those who bring life back when every second counts. 📰 Read more in our WAVE News coverage: https://www.wave3.com/2025/10/28/fern-creek-sergeant-recognized-times-square-part-national-first-responders-day/ (fb)
