Bronx girl wins PAL essay contest becomes police commish for a day

       Samantha Marie Medina of the Bronx wins Police Commissioner for a Day after winning the annual PAL essay contest

 

Samantha Marie Medina, 16, took the reins of the NYPD and became police commissioner - for a day - Wednesday after winning a Police Athletic League essay contest.

The 11th-grader from St. Catharine Academy and 130 other contest-winning students from across the city were sworn in at Police Headquarters - and promptly took their mock posts in high-level NYPD positions.

“I’m was shocked when I got it,” said Medina, who last year won the right to run the 49th Precinct in Morris Park for a day. “This was, like, a big promotion for me, so I was really happy.”

The students won by submitting essays detailing programs that they, as police commissioner, would use to improve the city.

“You did a terrific job addressing some of the most complex issues that this department faces,” Kelly told the students, “such as how to reduce illegal guns, gangs and violence.”

Medina’s winning essay tackled those issues in just fewer than three pages - but knew she would need more than a day for her plan to work.

“Being the New York City police commissioner for just one day is not enough time to solve the problems of youth involvement with guns and gangs,” Medina began her essay.

Sounding like a seasoned police veteran, she wrote that she would implement two programs to target the interwoven problems of guns and gangs among teens.

Enter Operation Point Blank, which would deter youngsters from getting involved with guns, and Operation Gang Watch, to decrease gang activity.

Medina said the programs would have a domino effect.

“If the number of gangs is reduced, the number of guns would be reduced, and vice versa,” she said.

As part of winning the contest, the aspiring lawyer accompanied Kelly to his office, where she sat behind the desk of Theodore Roosevelt, the former U.S. President who was head of the city’s Police Commission from 1895 to 1897.

Medina also joined Kelly for a press conference, where the real police commissioner called his student counterpart’s essay “thoughtful” and “very analytical.”

“I thought her plan was terrific,” he said. “It was very detailed.

“I’m gonna send that to our planners,” he jokingly added. “Let them examine it more closely.”
