APO Joe Slack honored by Bay Village Civic Association

Amityville Village Police Officer Joe Slack, who was recently promoted to Sergeant, was
recognized by the Bay Village Civic Association for his efforts in saving a young girl from a

gear, Slack scaled a ladder and pulled the girl to safety from the roof.
