Congratulations is in order for both Officer George Somal and Corporal Tracey Widdis on thier awards!Congratulations Officer George Samol & Corporal Tracey Widdis! They are seen here with their Meritorious Service Awards at todays Monmouth and Ocean County Intelligence Bureau (M.O.C.I.B.) Valor Awards Luncheon! Also pictured is Captain Frank Rizzuto who accompanied them to the awards ceremony.
Here is the write up from their nomination:
On the afternoon of August 21st, 2018, Officer George Samol was flagged down on Broadway by an individual who had just witnessed a murder inside a restaurant. Officer Samol called for backup, drew his service weapon and entered the building to assist with an on-going struggle between the suspect and a Good Samaritan over possession of a firearm. Once inside, the suspect, who had just been disarmed by the other individual, attempted to take possession of Samol’s weapon and a violent struggle ensued.
Corporal Tracey Widdis was the first backup officer on scene and arrived at a pivotal moment in the struggle. Utilizing her asp, she was able to help Samol to fend the suspect off and maintain control of his weapon until additional officers arrived to assist in subduing him.
The swift actions of these officers prevented any further injury or loss of life to the additional civilians in the restaurant at the time, including a few who were also being targeted by the suspect.
Their heroic actions, bravery and complete disregard for personal safety during this life-threatening incident speak volumes as to their integrity and ability as officers. Their professionalism is a true asset to the Long Branch Police Department.
