🚨 Officer Spotlight 🚨

The Albany Police Department would like to recognize Officer Jayden Torelli, a 4-year veteran of the Albany Police Department for his commendable actions responding to an emergency this past week.

On Sunday, August 9th 2026 at approximately 3:05 PM, Officer Torelli responded to a call at the Corning Preserve Boat Launch located at 20 Quay Street for reports of a vehicle into the water.

As the first arriving officer, Torelli immediately entered a chaotic scene where multiple bystanders directed him to the suspect who was actively drowning the victim.

Torelli immediately made contact with the suspect, giving him clear verbal commands which led to a successful detainment and subsequent arrest.

While actively detaining the suspect, Officer Torelli was able to simultaneously direct bystanders to remove the victim from the water and start CPR.

The composed and controlled demeanor of Officer Torelli directly resulted in saving the victim’s life.
