Officer Roberts Takes Potentially Life-Saving Action

Written by Brosnan Insight | Apr 7, 2022 3:32:03 PM

While on post in an ATM vestibule in the Bronx, Officer Roberts observed an active shooting event taking place directly across the street. Thinking quickly and taking immediate action, Roberts saw that a small child and an elderly man were sitting on the windowsill just inside the vestibule. Without hesitation, he picked up the child, ushered the gentleman toward the interior of the building, and immediately locked the vestibule door from the interior side. Roberts issued a quick warning to branch staff, assessed that all were out of harm’s way and then called 911 to report the situation.

Brosnan Risk Consultants President John O'Connor, National Account Manager Jim Dannic, Supervisor Jim Gallagher, along with representatives of our client's management, presented Roberts with the award to recognize his outstanding and heroic actions.
