This bill formally commends New York State Police Trooper Andrew M. Giga for receiving the Superintendent's Commendation Award on May 16, 2024. It recognizes his specific actions during a severe flood in July 2023, where he and a partner rescued stranded motorists by creating a makeshift rope line through dangerous waters. The resolution highlights his calm leadership and humility during the crisis, noting that he later submitted a brief incident report without seeking recognition. Ultimately, the bill serves as an official legislative acknowledgment of his bravery and dedication to public service.
