    I first had the pleasure of meeting John back in the mid 90s while working for the United States Postal Service in Poughkeepsie. He was working security at the RIP VAN WINKLE TOWERS on Rinaldi Blvd. He would let me into the lobby and would say if ever needed anything to let him know. He would then go back into the security office and watch the cameras or take a quick stroll outside. I found it funny such a mild mannered Cop was working one of the worse parts of the city and he always had a smile on his face. It is so ironic that 1 block from where I had the pleasure of meeting this man he is gunned down in the line of duty. You are a Heroic man Detective Falcone, that little girls family has you, and the City of Poughkeepsie Police to thank for saving her life. GOD SPEED BROTHER, GOD SPEED!

    Respect is not commanded...... it is earned..... by leading by example and doing the right thing across the board when everyone is watching..... and not watching!

    You are a member of a Department that does that! Career has Tan and Volunteer has Black.... THE "PUBLIC" does not care as long as someone shows up and is able to mitigate the problem at hand!
    You are entitled to an opinion, but by making that type of statement that's where the animosity starts. I don't care what color gear I wear. I love the job and I am there to help the public....period! I think we should be more concerned with training and being sure we can do the job correctly and not so worried about what color our turnouts are! But that's just me.
