NYC Auxiliary Police Memorial Service - March 29, 2009 The annual Auxiliary Police Benevolent Association of the City of New York Memorial Service will he held on Sunday March 29, 2009. This year the service will be held at the Church of the Incarnation located at 209 Madison Avenue in Manhattan.
Every year many Auxiliary and Reserve units come from around the United States and even abroad to pay respects to the Auxiliary Police that were killed in the Line of Duty (LOD), killed while coming to the aid of others even when not in uniform and those that died in the last year. Although the Memorial Service is sponsored by the NYC Auxiliary Police Benevolent Association, any Auxiliary or Reserve Officer may be honored. We will be honoring our own late Captain Jordon Aaronson.
It is both heart-warming and gratifying to see so many fellow volunteers coming together, looking their finest in full dress uniforms. The many hundreds of participants will march into the Church where the memorial service will be held. The service is always beautiful and the families of the fallen or deceased officers are truly taken by the global support.
It is hard to explain just how important and exciting the Memorial Service is. All Long Beach Auxiliary Police Officers are urged to attend. We will muster at Auxiliary Headquarters and will drive our patrol vehicles into Manhattan. In past years the ride home was under escort. If you plan on attending please sign the duty board at Headquarters. If you need any uniform items including a Class A blouse (blazer jacket) then you must immediately inform your Sergeant. We anticipate a very large and impressive showing of Long Beach Auxiliary Police officers. |
