I proudly worked in the 28 from 7/86 to 5/98.The first thing you learned was the story of Phil Cardillo.You read the book,and listened to the senior guys.The battlecry was simple:
"REMEMBER CARDILLO"

We will never forget

I served in the 28th Pct from 2/1/55 to
1967. I retired in 1972. I for one knew about the Mosque on 116st, which was my post for many tours. I will never forget Phillip Cardillo. God bless him.

I'll always remember this day, as the blackest day in NYPD history. It was a disgrace what the upper hierarchy of NYC Govt did on that day by letting go all the suspects, and then come up with an obscure dept. memo regarding Sensitive Prone Locations, saying that this officer should not have been in that Mosque. This officer did what any other officer would have done in the same situation. He was truly a hero, and should always be remembered as ONE!

Officer Cardillo will never be forgotten. He was a true hero and its ashame that the PC and Mayor chose not to attend his funeral.

Phillip Cardillo's memory will not be forgotten, I understand a bok is in the works in regards to his tragic and senseless demise.

AS I SPENT MY ENTIRE, THOUGH SHORT, CAREER IN THE 028 PCT FROM 1982-1992 , THROUGH MY PRESENT VARIOUS POLICE ASSOCIATIONS I WILL AT LEAST NEVER ALLOW THIS SAID OFFICER'S NAME TO EVER BE FORGOTTEN !
