A police officer who the NYPD says was its first Hasidic Jewish officer when he joined the department in 2006 was promoted to sergeant on Friday. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.
Joel Witriol had a big smile on his big day. The officer was promoted to the rank of sergeant on Friday.
"It's a good job. Just take it," Witriol said.
That's what he did back in 2006. At that point, the New York City Police Department says he was the first Hasidic Jewish officer, a trailblazer for his community.
"I was a little surprised about it, but it's a good thing, hopefully, to have more followers, bringing the community into it," Witriol said.
The department has plenty of officers who are Jewish, but just a handful are members of the Hasidic community. That includes Witriol's brother, who didn't want to appear on camera.
Their parents are proud their sons are a part of the NYPD family, although they know it is a dangerous job.
"If they are going to be late, they let us know because my wife is a very nervous lady. She just wants to make sure they come home safe," said Louis Witriol, their father. "It's a little work, but it's OK."
During his work as a police officer with the transit bureau in Brooklyn, Joel Witriol sometimes worked undercover. Well, sort of. He dressed in his religious clothing to catch fare-beaters and people committing other crimes.
"Every day is a different day," he said. "Different people, different things happening. Getting involved with a lot of stuff you never thought you were going to get involved."

New research shows more women are getting tested for BRCA1 and 2 mutations after actress Angelina Jolie revealed she had undergone a prophylactic mastectomy once she found out she was a carrier.
BRCA1 and 2 mutations dramatically increase the risk for breast and ovarian cancer. The mutations, which are found in about 2 4 percent of women, are more likely in those with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer and those with personal risk factors, such as Ashkenazi Jewish descent.
Kelly Morse, a licensed genetic counselor at ProMedica Cancer Institute, says our family history plays a crucial role in our overall health and well-being.
Keeping a file with information about your familys medical history should be a priority for everyone, Morse said. As a parent, passing down detailed notes about your ancestors health to your children can be an invaluable gift. Once a loved one is gone, it becomes very difficult to recall this vital data.
Morse suggests patients begin with the following:
1. Start by making a list of your ancestors and immediate family members. It may be helpful to layout the information in a family tree format. Example: Grandparents Parents Siblings Children Aunts/Uncles Cousins
2. Next to each name write down any major health issues, especially cancer diagnoses in this case, and at what age.
3. It may also be helpful to include notes about your loved ones treatment journey. Including lab work and other tests can be especially helpful as well. These details can help tell the story and impact future care and treatment of you or your family.

Steven Sotloff's Death Raises Questions of Safety
Getty Images
Steven Sotloff (center with black helmet) talks to Libyan rebels on the Al Dafniya front line in 2011 in Misrata, Libya.
Published September 05, 2014.
(JTA) Dont bring it up. If it comes up, change the subject. If you cant change the subject, consider an outright denial. Those are some of the strategies used by Jewish reporters working in the Arab and Muslim Middle East to conceal their religious heritage.
The dangers facing Jewish journalists in the region became evident this week after the beheading of a dual American-Israeli citizen, Steven Sotloff, by the jihadist group Islamic State, or ISIS.
Its not known whether ISIS was aware that Sotloff was Jewish. Colleagues believe his kidnapping by ISIS-affiliated terrorists in 2013 in Syria was one of opportunity and not a deliberate targeting. James Foley, another journalist kidnapped by ISIS and beheaded last month by the terror group, was Catholic.
However, Sotloffs family in South Florida, his friends and colleagues indeed much of the journalistic community went to lengths to conceal his familys deep involvement in the Jewish community and his Israeli citizenship in order not to draw his captors attention to a factor that may have exacerbated his ordeal. JTA did not report on his captivity for the same reason.
The captors of Daniel Pearl, a Wall Street Journal correspondent kidnapped and beheaded by terrorists in Pakistan in 2002, made a point of his Jewishness. In the video showing his execution, they included Pearl saying My father is Jewish, my mother is Jewish. I am a Jew among his final words.
We send our deepest condolences to the family of Steven Sotloff, Pearls parents, Judea and Ruth, said in a statement emailed to JTA. We know too well the pain of such horrific loss. Once again the world has seen the horror of terrorism in action. We continue to find strength in the belief that united, civilization will triumph and humanity will prevail.
