- Historical Notes
-
NYPD Emergency Service Unit (ESU) Detective Scott Strauss was part of the rescue of PAPD officers trapped below rubble at the World Trade Center. His service motivated his sons, Bryan and Christopher, to join the NYPD. Bryan wanted to emulate his father in a career where his “only job was to help others, regardless of who they were or what they looked like.” In 2024, both brothers joined the NYPD ESU.
In 2006, the film World Trade Center featured Scott’s role in the dramatic rescue of PAPD Sergeant John McLoughlin and Officer William Jimeno. Scott’s inscription on this DVD case is an ongoing inspiration for his sons.
