The remains of five Port Authority police officers, including a chief and the agency's only female commander, were recovered at the World Trade Center site in New York, a spokesman said Sunday.

Chief James Romito, Capt. Kathy Mazza, Lt. Robert Cirri and Officers James Parham and Stephen Huczko were among the 37 Port Authority police officers killed in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

The bodies were discovered together Saturday at the base of 1 World Trade Center, according to Port Authority spokesman Greg Trevor.

All five had rushed from the Port Authority police headquarters and training academy in Jersey City, N.J., to help in the evacuation of the trade center, he said.

The remains of 14 of the Port Authority police officers killed on Sept. 11 have now been found, Trevor said.

The city's official count of those killed at the World Trade Center stood at 2,843 as of Friday. The number includes 712 people whose remains have been identified by the medical examiner.
