(FRIDAY, 6PM)
This week on Mic’d In New Haven, it’s another volume of The E-Men: Inside The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit — and my guest is retired NYPD Emergency Service Unit Officer Randy Miller.
Randy’s nearly 24-year career began in September 1993 at Queens’ 109th Precinct, where his involvement in rescuing an off-duty detective wounded during an armored-car robbery would eventually help open the door to the NYPD’s elite Emergency Service Unit.
In 1999, Randy joined ESU, completing the Specialized Training School before receiving his assignment to Emergency Service Truck 10 in Queens.
Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the loss of his partner and fellow Truck 10 officer, Tommy Langone, Randy made the decision to remain with the NYPD rather than pursue a career with the FDNY.
His career would eventually take him back to the Specialized Training School, this time as a lead instructor specializing in rope, collapse, and technical rescue operations.
He would also help rebuild New York Task Force 1, deploying to disasters across the United States and around the world, including the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Randy ultimately returned to field operations with Emergency Service Truck 7 in Brooklyn, where he served until his retirement in 2017.
From the streets of Queens to the specialized rescue operations of ESU, from Ground Zero’s aftermath to international disaster response — we’re talking about a career dedicated to saving lives under extraordinary circumstances.
That’s retired NYPD Emergency Service Unit Officer Randy Miller, on The E-Men: Inside The NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit — only on the Mic’d In New Haven Podcast.
