Deaths in the Family

As we continue our fight against CoViD-19, an invisible enemy that has already stolen so much from our NYPD family, we have heartbreaking news to share with you today.

Earlier this morning, the NYPD lost three more members to the disease. 

  • School Safety Agent George Santiago, assigned to our School Safety Division, served New York City for nearly 19 years.
  • Traffic Enforcement Agent Pat Nicholls, assigned to our Traffic Special Operations Section, had more than 22 years on the job.
  • Supervisor of School Security Kevin Bostic, assigned to Patrol Borough Queens South School Safety, dedicated more than 28 years to NYPD’s mission.

These remarkable men will never be forgotten. Every member of the NYPD, of all ranks and titles, will keep their memories alive and honor their legacies by faithfully carrying on their most important work.
