Officer Richard Rodriguez was killed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks while attempting to rescue the victims trapped in the World Trade Center.
Officer Rodriguez was at the police academy at the time the first plane struck and he immediately responded to the scene with other officers, arriving just as the second plane hit the towers. Officer Rodriguez was credited with saving many lives before being killed during the second collapse.
Officer Rodriguez had served with the Port Authority Police for 8 years and was assigned to the Police Academy
Richard Rodriguez, 31, of Cliffwood, NJ, was not just a police officer. He taught at the Port Authority Police Department Academy and was also a drummer for the Port Authority Police Department Pipe and Drum Band. He gave his all in everything he did, so on the morning of September 11th, his family and friends were not surprised when he joined the ranks of his fellow officers and rushed through the Holland Tunnel to Lower Manhattan to assist in the rescues and evacuation of the World Trade Center towers, after two hijacked airliners slammed into them. Acting with courage and conviction, he entered Tower One of the WTC Complex to assist in the rescues that were being undertaken. He perished in the rubble when the towers collapsed. Rodriguez, an 8 year veteran of the PAPD, was also a a member of the Perth Amboy Volunteer Fire Department and the Perth Amboy Volunteer First Aid Squad.
NOTE:
Officer Rodriguez was nominated by, New Jersey Auxiliary Police Officer Omar Chaudhery, to receive a memorial installment in The Tye Band Fallen Officers Memorial Site and was entered on Dec. 3, 2009 by The Tye Band Selection Committee.
