Frank Frangella spent weeks digging through rubble at Ground Zero after the September 11 attacks. Now, he leads safety and security for all Martin County schools — and he hasn’t forgotten a single moment.
Former NYPD officer who worked Ground Zero leads school safety
Frangella’s office serves as a quiet tribute to that day. Photos, statues, and mementos fill the space, each one tied to his time working at Ground Zero in the weeks and months following the attacks. Among them is a memory book, photos of his team, images of mountains of debris and twisted metal, and pictures of celebrities who brought hot meals to first responders.
