Death in the Family
In a stark reminder that the CoViD-19 pandemic is not yet behind us, this morning we lost School Safety Agent Melvin Rascoe, who battled the disease for almost a month and a half.
Melvin served with the NYPD for nearly 15 years and kept thousands of students in Queens safe. As we mourn his loss, we celebrate Melvin’s vital contributions to our core public-safety mission. Our prayers, today and every day, are with Melvin and his family, friends, and coworkers.
