Jorge M. Rodriquez unselfishly served our country in the United States Navy during the years 1994 through 2001, and served an additional three years in the Reserves.
While in the Navy, Mr. Rodriquez received the Navy Achievement Medal (NAM). Following his service, he became part of New York City’s finest – the New York City Police Department – in the year 2000. Mr. Rodriquez worked at the 42 Precinct for almost 10 years. While on duty one day, Mr. Rodriquez struggled with a perpetrator during an arrest, breaking his right hand. As a result of that injury, he lost 70% of his hand strength and was forced to retire in 2009.
In addition to his years of service to the United States Navy, Mr. Rodriquez is extremely proud that he was able to retire from the NYPD with an exemplary record of zero civilian complaints and several congratulatory comments from the NYPD brass.
