We gathered together at #1PP for the Hope Awards Ceremony honoring the heroic actions of our #NYPD officers. Your hard work will always be rewarded. Keep up the amazing work. @NYPDnews

Today at our Hope Awards, we honor an incredible group of officers who have shown so much compassion and courage all while preventing tragedies. They have proven that in the darkest of times, hope can win. Thank you to our partners at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and to the Health and Wellness Section. Together, we work hard to break the stigma around mental health and create a city and department where asking for help is seen as a sign of strength, not weakness!

Congratulations to P.O. Libongco and Sgt. Lutchman on receiving their HOPE Awards today! Your dedication and service continue to inspire our community. Well deserved!

Don't chalk it up to nothing! If you're not feeling like your best self, know that it's ok not to be ok. Lean on your support system or seek out other resources like @988Lifeline and @CrisisTextLine.

It’s #TextThemTuesday! Has someone been on your mind? Send them a text or give them a call. Let them know you’re thinking about them. #MentalHealth
