The NYPD Remembers President George H.W. Bush
30 years ago, Police Officer Eddie Byrne was guarding a witness’ home when multiple assassins approached his parked police car and fatally shot him. This assassination was intended to intimidate the NYPD. Instead, the men and women of the department, the people of New York, and then-Vice President George H.W. Bush vowed to never forget. Throughout his presidential campaign, George H.W. Bush carried Byrne's NYPD shield which was given to him by the Byrne family. As president, Bush continued to honor our NYPD hero by keeping Byrne's shield on his desk in the Oval Office.

We thank him for his service and dedication to our country.
