This partnership underscores the commitment of both organizations to upholding the highest standards of legal representation and support for those who serve and protect the New York metro area.
The Bridge and Tunnel Officers (BTOs) are a unique and dedicated group of New York State Peace Officers. Tasked with patrolling New York City’s toll bridges and tunnels, these highly trained men and women perform a range of vital duties. Their responsibilities extend beyond traditional law enforcement to include firefighting, emergency rescues, revenue control, and public service functions for MTA Bridges & Tunnels.
To prepare for these multifaceted roles, Bridge and Tunnel Officers undergo rigorous training. Their education includes instruction in accordance with the New York State Municipal Police Training Council standards, New York City Fire Department training, NIMS Training, Recognizing and Dealing with Weapons of Mass Destruction Training, Radiation Detector Training, American Red Cross First Aid/CPR training, and extensive coursework at the MTA Bridges & Tunnels Training Academy. This comprehensive training ensures that BTOs are well-equipped to handle any situation that arises on New York City’s critical transportation infrastructure.
Portale Randazzo LLP’s designation as the official defense attorneys for the BTO PBA is a testament to the firm’s expertise and commitment to providing exceptional legal defense. The law firm has a strong track record of defending law enforcement officers and other public servants, ensuring their rights are protected and that they receive fair treatment under the law.
“Having Portale Randazzo LLP as our official defense attorneys provides our officers with the peace of mind that they have top-tier legal representation,” said a spokesperson for the BTO PBA. “This partnership is vital to maintaining the high standards of professionalism and integrity that our officers uphold every day.”
The BTO PBA and Portale Randazzo LLP share a mutual respect for the rule of law and the essential services that Bridge and Tunnel Officers provide. This collaboration highlights the importance of strong legal support for those who risk their lives to ensure the safety and security of the motoring public in the New York metro area.

Their presence is a reassuring reminder that help is always available when you need it.
