"Congratulations to Rachel and Ryan on receiving one of the nation's most prestigious law enforcement awards," Chief Christopher Brock said in a letter to the police department when the award was announced in March. Morgan and Hayo are among 34 TOP COPS winners, selected from hundreds of nominations. They were honored at a dinner Saturday at the Mayflower Hotel.

Rachel Morgan ended her long and trying journey back to active duty on the Paramus Police Department on Monday, nearly a year after she was shot on a snowy Parkway onramp. Morgan declined to speak about her return Monday. It's a moment, however, that she's been thinking about and working towards since she first regained consciousness days after the Super Bowl Sunday shooting, scrawling "Tell me I'm coming back to work." on a piece of paper to Police Chief Christopher Brock. “There’s no question. It’s just a matter of when,” she told Patch in March. "I belong in that building." Morgan was shot twice in the torso by Michael Carmody after she tried to make a traffic stop on Route 17. Carmody fled and spun out on the entrance to the Garden …

Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli lauded wounded Paramus officer Rachel Morgan as a hero Thursday in announcing the results of his office's investigation of the Super Bowl Sunday shooting. Morgan and fellow officer Ryan Hayo were "more than justified" in their exchange of gunfire with Michael Carmody on a Parkway on-ramp in early February, Molinelli said. "Our office has found that both Officer Rachel Morgan and Ryan Hayo, on the evening in question, operated in a professional manner," Molinelli said. Morgan, who donned her uniform Thursday for the first time since the night of the shooting, explained the 22 seconds the entire incident took to transpire felt like about eight minutes. Carmody had returned to the Westwood home he …

Shot by fleeing motorist, Paramus cop determined to make it back to "dream job."
Rachel Morgan was lying in a hospital bed, nine days into her recovery from near-fatal gunshot wounds, when she flipped on the news to watch a segment about a blood drive the Paramus ambulance corps had held in her honor. Her spirits were buoyed by footage of the more than 200 people who showed up to donate blood. It was the first bit of news she’d seen about her shooting. But the segment concluded with a recap of the night the Paramus patrolwoman was shot after a brief chase down Route 17. Without warning, his face appeared on the screen. For the first time since he nearly took her life on a cold, snowy Parkway onramp late on Super Bowl Sunday, Rachel looked into the face of Michael Carmody. “That night [of the shooting], me and him …
