Binghamton Police Department awards ceremony
BINGHAMTON, NY (WIVT/WBGH) – Binghamton Police held a recognition ceremony this morning, reflecting on the department's work to keep the public safe. This morning was the Binghamton Police Awards at the Holiday Inn. It's a chance for the department to honor its officers' courageous, outstanding, and professional acts of service. Such as recognizing Investigative Analyst Stacey Rodzinka. She was leading force that helped identify a suspect in the arson case that resulted in the death of Binghamton firefighter John JR Gaudet. Another certificate of recognition was given to patrolman Nathan Burgo, who helped track down and safely bring in an armed suspect during bar closing hours in August of last year. 'I saw two people arguing, I look over and one male was reaching towards his waistband and pulls out a gun, fires two shots North down State Street, and takes off running. I was on foot, and I knew we had other officers in the area in vehicles. So, I knew they were going to be able to get their fast or even get ahead of him to stop him,' says Burgo. Also recognized were members of the Special Investigation Unit Task who says, through its 248 investigations, it removed 95 illegal firearms from the streets and recovered hundreds of ounces of illegal drugs. The ceremony ended with a surprise recognition for Father Laurence Lord, who's been the police department's chaplain for 52 years. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
