When a police officer or firefighter dies in the line of duty, the entire city comes together.

For those families experiencing unimaginable grief, life is never the same.

Today, I joined those families at the Police and Fire Line of Duty Widows luncheon. For 65 years, this organization has created a community that continues to show up for one another, year after year.

It reminds all of us in the NYPD that our responsibility to these families is not measured in the days after a tragedy, but in the years that follow.

May the memories of their loved ones always be a blessing.

It was an honor to celebrate the 251st birthday of the @USMC today at One Police Plaza.

Today, nearly 600 Marines serve in the NYPD, bringing with them the honor, courage, and commitment that are the core values of their military service.

Thank you for what you’ve given to our country and for what you continue to give to New York City. Semper Fi.

Ten years ago today, Sergeant Paul Tuozzolo was murdered in the line of duty while doing his job to protect New Yorkers.

Paul was a beloved boss who led by example, making sure every job was done right, and holding his officers to the highest standards.

But beyond his work in the NYPD, he was most proud of being a father to Austin and Joseph and a devoted husband to Lisa.

May Sergeant Paul Tuozzolo’s memory always be a blessing.

Congratulations to the NYPD running team for winning the Mayor’s Cup again this year and to the thousands of runners who ran the NYC marathon today!

Thank you to all the members of the NYPD who were out in full force across all five boroughs to keep the runners and spectators safe.

Last night, the NYPD recognized eight members of the department who have battled a life-threatening illness or devastating injury, yet chose to stay in the NYPD and honor their oaths of service.

These extraordinary officers endured circumstances that would have broken most people — they had every reason to quit, but instead found the strength to persist.

Their courage and resilience continue to inspire this entire department and make us all proud to serve alongside them.
