Detective,
New York City Detectives have gone from one crisis to the next over the past months. We have lost five great, hero brothers due to Coronavirus and now we protect the city from violent, cop-hating rioters.
The single most important thing to keep in your mind is staying safe. Pay no attention to the rhetoric and lack of support from elected officials. As we endure these violent attacks — never let your guard down. Stop the threat. Do what you are trained to do. Always protect yourself and your fellow cops.
As you hold the blue line of order in our city, know that DEA will always be by your side fighting for your rights. IN EVERY INSTANCE.
Stay safe at all costs — and always go home to your family. In unity there is strength.
Fraternally, Paul DiGiacomo, President and the DEA Board of Officers
