Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Standing with my fellow officers the other day in front of the church I noticed something. There were thousands upon thousands of officers in the street, dressed sharply standing to pay final respect. I marveled how a simple verbal command of "Ten hut!" Could bring a crowd of thousands to instant silence and attention, where else can crowd control be so effective and sharp? During the brief "At ease" intermission I saw thousands of other officers around me, laughing, hugging, sharing old stories and better times. Then I looked to my left and I see a group of officers with patches on their arms representing all different agencies, and their faces of different races. Then it struck me for real how much our law enforcement community is truly a family. We may come from different states, different departments, and different races but we are all Blue! I'm sure Glen was looking down that day enjoying the old stories, seeing those we only get to see on these sad occasions. while a police funeral is a sad occasion it is also a reminder how we are part of one very close family. Those that knew Glen personally such as myself also knew that he really was all those amazing things people said to describe him. He was what every police officer should strive to be, a great role model, a father, a husband. Just an all around great guy!

God Speed Officer Ciano.
May God's peace find all that mourn. May the black band the covers every badge unite and console one another without words. We buried our Sgt in February and still the pain resonates...I pray that each day gets easier for those left behind.

Sending love from California to New York.

My condolences to the family and friends of Officer Glen Ciano. All of your brothers were there at your funeral to pay our final respect to you. As we stood there during your service, speakers talked of your love of golf and motorcycles and of how you would help people, whether through your police work in the 2nd precinct or through serving as a mentor with Eagle Scouts. You made the ultimate sacrifice to make Suffolk County a safer place for the rest of us. On behalf of Suffolk County's 4th Pct, I'd like to thank you for being such a great person. Rest in peace brother.

My thoughts and prayers go out to PO Ciano and his family. My husband, Thomas Raji, was also a police officer and he too was killed in the line of duty by a drunk driver in Aug. 2008. We were expecting our first child together. Mrs. Ciano, there is nothing anyone can say to ease your pain. Just know that your husband is at peace now and he will always be watching over you and your children. He is your guardian angel now.
