Vito
From a West Coast brother officer--thanks for your dedicated service and sacrifice. I suspect your assailant got his due one way or another. People like that don't stay out of jail for long. Thanks for serving the citizens of N.Y. It's obvious your family, friends and law enforcement brothers and sisters miss you greatly. Our young daughter lives in Brooklyn. Anyway, just wanted to chime in and say you will not be forgotten.

It was my honor to research newspapers, books and magazines and finally find your ID Card Photo and make sure your photo was put on this site. I wanted to put a face to your heroism in the Line of Duty. I did the research because you are a brother officer and no matter how many years past, you will always be remembered. Rest Easy Hero.

Officer Chiaramonte, it's not 38 years since your murder at the hands of a meaningless coward. We can only hope he faced true justice for his crime if not in this world, then in the next. You're children are all grown now, I hope and pray they kept you very much alive in their hearts and minds.

Your agency is a piece of history now, and you are a part of that history, albeit a tragic and sad one.

God Bless and may you continue to eternally Rest in Peace, Brother.
