Detective John Polling was my Uncle on my mother's side. He was the youngest of a family 3 brother 2 sisters and 2 brother they never new. I am really surprised that after all of these years My Uncle John is still remember. Funny I was speaking with some of my work force who were at the time speaking of once becoming a Police officer. My uncle was a great man who came from a great Family and I remember that dark day.

Peace

I was born on the day of Detective Pollins' death. I was lucky enough to have served as a Police Officer in the 25 Precinct which is the precinct where this tragic crime took place. I was not aware that this happened in the 25 Precinct. I drove by that corner daily for many years. I will always think of him when I pass there now. I wish him peace. I'm sure he is still watching over his family.

This message is for everyone who had kind words for my father, Detective John D. Pollins. I have not seen my cousin, Tyrone Jackson since 1965. I did not know that my Uncle Woody passed away!

I would love the opportunity to re unite with my cousins, Brian, Cheryl and Arthur as well as my cousin, Willie, Beatrice and all of my family.

I am currently the Head Boys Varsity Basketball Coach, at Tucson Magnet High School, Tucson, AZ. For the last thirty years, I have work in the field of social work and criminal justice. I remember a picture of my dad, playing basketball in the Army during the Korean War. I wish that my dad would have saw me play basketball @ De Witt Clinton, Westchester C.C., Springfield College," The Birthplace of Basketball, graduate in 5/81 and play in the Pro Rucker League from 1980-1988.

My mom, Tanyia Pollins is still alive and well in the Bronx, NY. I have three beautiful kids, John D. Pollins, age 20, Brihanna Nicole, age 18 and the baby, Jordan Pollins, age 14, 6`0'', 200 lbs. Thank everyone again for keeping my dad`s spirit alive!

Dear Dectective Pollins:
I knew and grew up with your son and I want you to know that you would have been as proud of him as he is of you and that the love was mutual.Both Kevin and I were young children and in a sense it was all OUR first sense of senseless tragedy. It was an end to our innocence even though e still had the rough year of 1968 to come. may God keep you and bless you and your family,this from a friend who wanted so much to have met you and to let you know that 40 years have not erased that dreadful day.You are with God and our hearts ,prayes and love go out to you.
God bless you,May you rest in peace
A hero to all
