Honoree: Edward D. Reuss (1940-2017), after serving as an MP in the US Army, joined the NYPD as a patrolman in 1963 and rose to the rank of Captain. In the course of his career, he was assigned to Manhattan’s 4th Precinct, Staten Island’s 123rd and 120th Precincts, Manhattan’s 9th Precinct and back to Staten Island’s 120th Precinct. He retired in 1992 after 29 years of service. He was a member of the Captain’s Endowment Association; the International Association of Chiefs of Police; and the International Police Association, Region 2. In 1999, he launched an NY Cop Online Magazine which features true accounts of the men and women of the NYPD. On 9/11 he set up a command post in New Dorp to ship much-needed supplies to Ground Zero; and again during Hurricane Sandy, he organized retired NYPD officers to aid in disaster relief. (Matteo)
