Thank you, Joe, for this wonderful tribute. It was an honor to know Howard and to work for him on his executive staff at NYPD. He was a remarkable leader and a personal mentor and cheerleader to me. I was glad to see you and catch up at the memorial service. May he rest in peace
Replying to @JoeFox
May he rest in peace. Great man. I remember him talking to us in the academy. Set the tone for the rest of our careers.

In 1969, Jets punter Steve O’Neal set the all-time NFL/AFL record with this 98-yard punt, and I’ve got that sumbitch traveling 105 yards off his foot before stopping dead six inches from the goal line. Perfect.

Most of the state’s 19 mass shootings were carried out by men who legally possessed firearms, an investigation by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune found. wfaa.com/article/news/local/…

Inspiring.
This #BlackHistoryMonth, join us to celebrate our Black NYPD heroes — and those who follow in their footsteps. @NYPD9Pct PO Gregory Foster III patrols the same streets as his hero grandfather, who made the ultimate sacrifice 51 yrs ago. Read their story: nycpba.org/media/37475/black…

Fantastic. From a fellow former @NYPD19Pct cop who left NYPD for greater opportunity and eventually became Chief of @AuroraPD, I know that Officer Milliner has a great background and will do exceedingly well, professionally and personally, at APD. Good luck. All the best.
Hey @AuroraPD — Officer Christopher Milliner is on his way over, please take good care of him. Officer Milliner signed out today for the last time before flying west for the Rocky Mountain State & join Aurora's Finest. Chris, stay safe you’ll definitely be missed!

Congratulations, @ArapahoeSO Brown. You will do well in your second term. All the best.
Sheriff Tyler Brown was sworn into his 2nd term as the 42nd Sheriff of Arapahoe County. He vowed to continue more programs to help citizens like school therapy dogs & co-responder program. Congratulations on four more years! @ArapahoeCounty @CentennialGov @COSheriffs @MCSheriffs

So glad that during my recent return to @AuroraPD I had time to reconnect with top-shelf professional SAC Dave Booth, a career credit to @ATFHQ, @ATF_Denver, @USAO_CO. All the best, Dave, in your well deserved retirement.
We wish @ATF_Denver Special Agent in Charge David S. Booth the very best in retirement. He has been a fantastic law enforcement partner and has worked tirelessly to make Colorado a safer place.

Just home from wonderful holiday w/family to read of this terrible loss of a LE hero @OCSOALERTS Cpl. Ray Hamilton. We can never forget that even on our most revered holidays, cops across America are on patrol and risk their lives protecting us. RIP.
This #Christmas Eve, pray for the loved ones and fellow cops of @OCSOALERTS Cpl. Ray Hamilton, who was shot and killed by a domestic violence suspect while he attempted to apprehend him. Cpl. Hamilton led a life of significance that we must #NeverForget. #CopsCountPoliceMatter

A terrible day in @NYPDnews history. An exemplary tribute video, with on-point and compelling remarks by @CommissBratton. #NeverForget
NYPD Detectives WenJian Liu and Rafael Ramos were assassinated — targeted for the responsibility they embraced to keep people safe. These heroes believed in the possibility of a city free from fear. Eight years later, we remain here for their families. We #NeverForget.
