The Detectives’ Endowment Association is deeply saddened to announce the death of Detective Cedric Dixon of the 32 Precinct. Cedric was hospitalized with flu-like symptoms and more recently tested positive for COVID-19. A dedicated public servant, Cedric joined the NYPD in December of 1997 and was promoted to Detective in September of 2019. His more than two decades of crime fighting and dedication to protecting our city is the epitome of what it means to be “The Greatest Detectives in the World.” Cedric’s legacy of service and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace, Detective.
The DEA sends our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and fellow officers. We will forever be here to support them.
