The NYPD is tracking the situation in West Bloomfield, Michigan, and we are in touch with our law enforcement partners. Out of an abundance of caution, and given the overall heightened threat environment, we’re continuing to deploy high-visibility patrols to Jewish religious and cultural institutions in the city.
As always, if you see something, say something, call 1-888-NYC-SAFE.
More than a decade ago, Retired Det. Jose Rosario sacrificed his life to save a drowning boy.
That boy was Justin Acevedo, and he never forgot that sacrifice.
Yesterday, Justin graduated and became a police officer, honoring the legacy of the man who saved his life.
The NYPD mourns the loss of Police Officer Sorffly Davius, who passed away yesterday as a result of a medical episode while deployed to Kuwait in support of Operation Epic Fury.
Officer Davius served in the 42nd Infantry Division in the U.S. Army National Guard and rose to the rank of Major.
In 2014, he began his service with the NYPD where he was assigned to the 79th Precinct.
Today, and always, we keep his family in our thoughts and prayers.
May we never forget Officer Davius’ sacrifice and may his memory be a blessing.
