Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It's been 48 years today since you passed. I know I didn't know you as I wasn't born yet, but the way my family talked about you and shared stories. From the stories you would tell from your shift that night. To watching you get ready for work. And how you were more to them than a brother in law. I feel like I knew you. Today, we celebrate your heroics that cost you your life. Thank you for your service

I was fresh out of the academy and working graveyard shift as a police officer for Cal State Northridge. We monitor LAPD radio calls as we are within Devonshire Division. Early in the morning I heard the call go out of shots fired - officer down. As a rookie in my third week on patrol, I radioed dispatch and asked them to contact my training officer (Sgt Bradley) for permission to go. He wasn't reachable (because he was already at the scene). So I decided to go. When I arrived, I parked at the gas station on the N/E corner of Devonshire and Reseda. As I walked towards the McDonalds I saw an ambulance and was told that the officer was inside (I learned later that he died).

I came up to the Pizza joint that was right before McDonalds. I then saw my Sgt on the ground with his gun trained on the McDonalds. I told him that I would go around to the other side of the Pizza joint. When I got there I ran into 4 LAPD officers. That's when the shooting started. Since I could not get a clear view of what was happening, I chose to run back to my partner as he was alone. When I got there the shooting had stopped. My Sgt. was with an employee who had escaped the McDonalds and was shot in the gut by one of the cops before collapsing next to my Sgt. (he survived).

The next few hours involved securing the area and keeping traffic out.
Later we were told that the suspect had committed suicide. I went home.

It's not the kind of night that one is likely to forget.

So this year for veterans day my city is having a healing and honor field with 2020 American flags honoring fallen and active police and vets my uncle nick was both so in his memory I purchased one. Even though I've never met him I feel such pride in the way my family still talks about him not just as a cop but as someone they looked up to as a person. I'm looking forward to the opening ceremony and seeing his flag

I had the honor and privilege working with Nick in Devonshire Division from 1973 to 74. He was a great partner. We had one Plymouth Fury left over as we had gone to the American Motors Ambassadors. Nick always made a b-line to get the Fury

We all love you dearly and your passing left a giant hole in all of our lives. You were a good man and you sacrificed everything to keep us safe. It has been difficult living without you. I remember living with you for 2 years when I was 14 years old and getting into wrestling matches with you which usually ended up with me handcuffed to the pole near the front door. All in good fun of course! You were the only father figure I had in my life and I cannot thank you enough for allowing me to live with you and aunt Linda and for showing me what it means to be good person. I love you more than any man I have ever met because you were kind, fair and loving. I carry many memories of you in my heart and even though it hurts those memories help me to be a better person. God Bless you!

My Dearest Niece Nicole: I posted your loving memorial on facebook just a few moments ago in honor of your amazing Dad. "Dawnielle Murray​ and Brian Jackson​ I just found this memorial to your Uncle Nick, and I am very sad just looking at his handsome face in this picture. Nick was more than a highly decorated Police Officer and the 1976 Policeman of the Year Posthumously, he was generous with his time, and more than kind to family and friends. With his sweet smile and gentle words, Nick could calm mighty storms. I was so proud to be his sister in law, and I have thought of him often throughout the years and miss him to this day. I was very sad over the loss of his wife Linda and young son Nick who both died just a few years after he did. I pray that we will meet again one day in Heaven. Posted in loving memory of Zlatko Nicholi Sintic (Nick) by Judy Gottlieb (Slivick, Jackson, Bridges)" Nicole: My Mother, Father, 3 Brothers, Sister, and I loved your Dad very much. I know that your heart aches for the loss of him, your Mother, and little Brother. May God bless you. Judy

This morning i was surprised and very touched to read the reflection left by my brothers friend. I have often written a reflection here to only delete it(not sure exactly why). The important thing is when i read the comments that are left here about my family it is very touching and wonderful to know that they are not forgotten. Life has so many challenges that its easy to forget the ones we lost and the happier times we shared with them. From the deepest part of my heart and soul i want to say thank you to each and everyone who has taken there time to remember my dad,mom and brother.

Thank you Officer Sintic for your sacrifice and service to our country and the community of Los Angeles. I was a childhood friend of your son, Nick, and was so sad to learn he passed in 1988 after I found your memorial. I remember how heartbroken he was when his mother passed, too. We were just kids, but I remember that day on the playground with Nick. I am sure you are all in heaven, together. I too went into military service and LE. I am honored to have known your son, even if for a short period of time. I never knew your fate and I am so thankful for this perspective on my own life. They God uses all things for good. God bless you and your family. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9

A new year, Officer Sintic, and thanking you once again for your service to the citizens of Los Angeles. I will be visiting the cemetery soon to pay my respects to my C.H.P. brother-in-law close to you. I'll give the L.A.P.D. shield on your plaque a little polishing.
