A Special Moment of Honor and Gratitude

In a heartfelt gesture, Mayor Marty Small Sr. and Atlantic City Police Department Chief James Sarkos surprised Bart Blatstein, owner of Showboat Hotel Atlantic City, by posthumously naming his late son, Ryan, an honorary police officer.

Ryan Blatstein was a steadfast supporter of law enforcement, particularly here in Atlantic City, and this recognition celebrates his enduring legacy of respect and advocacy for those who serve and protect our community.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the Blatstein family for their unwavering support of law enforcement and for their contributions to our city.
