WPCNR COMMON COUNCIL CHRONICLE-EXAMINER. April 8, 2004: Department of Public Safety Police Officer Daniel Murphy, son of  a former White Plains Police Officer, Joseph Murphy, was named Employee of the Month, and in the typical professional, self-effacing manner of  the prototype White Plains Police officer thanked the Mayor and the community in about 9 words. Patrolman Murphy earned the award for his apprehension of the man who had attacked a woman at the former Kraft property at 333 Westchester Avenue, March 27, and was fleeing the scene. The Mayor said Patrolman Murphy concentrated on escape routes the prepetrator might take and was able to find and corrall the suspect on the Hutchinson River Parkway,  saving the young lady who was attacked considerable future anxiety had the perpetrator escaped. The Mayor hugged the officer.  The Council chambers resounded to a standing ovation for his professionalism, bravery, and achievement. Routine for White Plains police.

Patrolman Daniel Murphy: The "Employee of the Month." His recognition for his key arrest of the kidnapping suspect was another chapter in Patrolman Murphy's distinguished tour of duty with the White Plains Police. Mayor Delfino commented that Patrolman Murphy has had great success in reclaiming stolen goods, and lost items in fires, and rescued a 6-year old child in an auto accident in 1997.
