NYPD academy graduate was inspired to become a cop by officer who saved his sister from bleeding to death after crash

"It proved to me that one officer can change a whole family, like this gentleman did. That's why I want to be a police officer - because I want to do the same."

"[Duran's] sister was in the middle of the crosswalk, basically her leg was dangling off her body and she was bleeding to death, barely conscious."

"We didn't want to wait for the ambulance, thinking she might bleed to death. I scooped her up, put her on my lap, and we just flew to Elmhurst hospital."
