Rockland County, NY – The Rockland County District Attorney’s Office has unveiled K9 Remy, Rockland County’s first “cyber dog” trained to detect electronic devices. Remy is named after Welles Remy Crowther, the 9/11 hero recognized as the “man in the red bandana” who saved over a dozen people during the attack on the south tower.
Remy’s primary role is to assist in investigations by sniffing out electronic devices. This capability provides a unique advantage in locating items that might otherwise be overlooked in searches.
The community can learn more about K9 Remy’s introduction and her significance through a report by Tony Aiello at CBS New York, available online. Remy’s name not only highlights her specialized skills but also honors a legacy of bravery and selflessness.

- Power Outage Leads to Crash in Toms River After Traffic Lights Go Out
TOMS RIVER, N.J. — Two people sustained minor injuries in a crash Monday morning at the intersection of Church Road and North Bay Avenue, where traffic signals were not functioning due to a power outage, according to Toms River police.
Thousands of homes were without power during the outage, which is the latest in a long line of outages plaguing the town in recent months, leading local leaders to urge First Energy Corp to improve service in recent months.
The incident occurred around 10 a.m., when a vehicle traveling south on North Bay Avenue collided with a vehicle headed east on Church Road, said Lt. Scott Moeller.
The impact caused the large truck on Church Road to overturn.
Both drivers reported minor injuries, with one being transported to a hospital for treatment, Moeller said.
The traffic signal at the intersection was not operational at the time of the crash due to a power outage in the area. Jersey Central Power & Light spokesman Christopher Hoenig said a malfunctioning breaker caused the outage.
Authorities are continuing to investigate the incident.
