This morning, we gathered at the New York City Police Memorial to add the names of 42 officers who lost their lives in service to this city.

Among those we honored today were Detective First Grade Didarul Islam, former Chief of Department Joseph Esposito, and those who died from 9/11-related illnesses.

Each name represents a life that meant far more than we could ever capture in an inscription. By placing them here, we make a promise that they will mean something to generations of New Yorkers too.

May the memories of these 42 fallen members be a blessing. by @nypdpc

This past Friday, NYPD Detective Jose Mercedes was stabbed multiple times during a robbery in the Bronx. Despite his serious injuries, Detective Mercedes chased after his attackers on foot.

Today, in another incredible feat of strength and determination, Detective Mercedes got up from his wheelchair and walked out of Jacobi Medical Center on his own two feet. Hundreds of members of the NYPD were there to cheer their brother on.

The entire department stands behind Detective Mercedes as he continues his recovery. And the greatest detectives in the world will relentlessly pursue those responsible for this crime. by @nypdpc

Today, the @nypd welcomed 755 new recruits to the Police Academy, men and women from all different backgrounds who took an oath to serve and protect this city.

Among them is Sabbir Ahmed, whose brother-in-law, Detective Didarul Islam, was killed in the line of duty last summer. Even after experiencing such a tremendous loss, Sabbir still chose to step forward and join the NYPD — that is the nobility of this profession.

Congratulations to all our new recruits! by @nypdpc

A promotion in the @nypd is an exceptional achievement. It’s a mark of excellence, and the culmination of considerable hard work, dedication, and sacrifice.

Everyone who earned this distinction today now has an even greater obligation to this department and to the city they have sworn to protect — and I know they are up to the task.

Congratulations to all the members of the NYPD who were promoted today! by @nypdpc

NYPD Sergeant Ruben Cespedes has spent his adult life putting himself in harm’s way to protect others.

Nearly 17 years ago, while serving in Afghanistan with the U.S. Army, he was seriously wounded by an IED, but continued fighting to protect the soldiers beside him.

Last week, he was finally presented with the Purple Heart he earned that night.

He later brought that same courage and commitment to the NYPD, where he has also earned the Medal for Valor.

This is the nobility of policing. Congratulations, Sergeant Cespedes. by @nypdpc

Twenty-five years ago, New York City was attacked by terrorists who sought to inflict unimaginable death and destruction.

Today, as we approach that anniversary, we unveiled a new memorial wall at 1 Police Plaza honoring the NYPD members who took heroic actions that day and in the months that followed. There were 23 members of the NYPD who were killed on 9/11, and we have since lost more than 469 members to illnesses connected to the rescue and recovery effort.

This wall preserves who they were and the extraordinary standard of service they left behind.

May their memories be an eternal blessing. by @nypdpc

Today, we unveiled the new @nypd Emergency Service Unit Memorial Wall at Floyd Bennett Field. Each of the 45 names on this wall represents a person who dedicated their own life to the protection of others, and whose courage came with no conditions.

At this space, their names will be among the courageous officers who carry on their legacies. This memorial is an enduring testament to what we have lost and a powerful symbol of the promise we keep to the families of our fallen heroes.

May their memories be an eternal blessing. by @nypdpc

A promotion means that the leadership of the NYPD believes you are ready for more — more responsibility, more authority, and greater expectations.

Yesterday, we promoted members of the department who have earned this greater trust. These are men and women who put themselves in harm’s way, tirelessly pursue justice for victims, and show up for this city tour after tour.

As we mark 25 years since September 11th, we remember the NYPD heroes we lost that day, and their families who still chose service after unthinkable tragedy. That includes newly promoted Sergeant Joseph Vigiano, who carries on the legacy of his father, Detective Joseph Vigiano Sr., who was killed on that horrific day. by @nypdpc

It was expected at Citi Field last night, but never showed up.
