Though he never served in the NYPD Emergency Service Unit himself, it’s thanks to his tutelage that a lot of ESU alumni did. In 1977, thanks to an essay penned by Dartmouth University student Dean Esserman (who’d later serve as Chief of my hometown New Haven Police), the ball got rolling on the NYC Transit Police starting their own Rescue Squad.
Thus, the Emergency Medical Rescue Unit was born. Serving in it from its inception until just before its finality with its 1995 merger with the NYPD ESU, his exact tenure ranges from 1977 to his retirement in 1994. He’s Sergeant Joe Sede and he’ll be the guest for Volume 35 of The E-Men: Inside The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit.
