It is with great sadness that the DEA announces the passing of Mrs. Anna Venditti, the mother of Detective Anthony J. Venditti, who was shot and killed in the line of duty on January 21, 1986, and whose homicide was never solved.
Mrs. Venditti remained a stalwart champion of the police and never gave up hope that her son’s murderers would be brought to justice. She was a constant presence at DEA functions and a persistent, fearless advocate for other line of duty families. She will be deeply missed.

The DEA’s Support Fund is a supplemental account maintained by the union to handle any unforeseen emergencies that may arise. This may include such necessities as the purchase of additional health benefits for our members. The Fund may be utilized for something as singular as a piece of medical equipment, or for something as large and continuing as catastrophic medical bills for a Detective, his or her spouse, or child in dire physical condition. Personal and family crises, cancer cases, exorbitant prescription drugs, and other unforeseen necessities and emergencies above and beyond the realm of current health benefits or other insurance coverage, has driven home the importance to the union of having our Support Fund.
