This week we feature:
Sergeant Timothy A. Roy
Shield 2926
Traffic Control Division Bus Unit
Timothy Roy was on his way to traffic court when he got the news of the World Trade Center disaster and ran to help. He was last seen in Building 5 helping a burn victim. “That was him. The first one on any scene. Right in there,” said his wife, Stacey.
Roy, 36, is a sergeant for the bus squad of the New York City Police Department. The lifelong Massapequa Park resident is a graduate of Berner High School in Massapequa. He and his wife have three children-Caitlyn, 10, Brittney, 7, and Timmy Jr., 3. Roy, a 16-year veteran of the police department, has eight siblings, including three brothers in the fire department and another brother who is a police officer. Among Roy’s awards is a unit citation for his work during the Crown Heights riot in 1991.
