"On behalf of the New York City Office of Emergency Management, I want to express my deep sadness at the passing of Jerry Orbach, a true servant of the people of the City of New York.
In addition to his noble portrayal of a New York City police officer on the show 'Law and Order,' Jerry Orbach graciously volunteered his time on behalf of OEM's 'Ready New York' campaign. As a result of Jerry's efforts, public service advertisements featuring him were created to help spread the message of emergency preparedness to his fellow New Yorkers.
