On Saturday, April 4, 1925, Officer Schmidt was shot and killed while preparing to question two auto thieves. Officer Schmidt was in plainclothes and only 400 feet from the Central Police Station while conducting surveillance on the two suspects. When he began to confront them he was shot and killed.

Officer Schmidt had been with the agency for two years.

Officer Rosario Collura, and Officer Leonard Lesnieski  were shot and killed when they interrupted a drug deal while on patrol.

They observed four men in an alley and stopped to question them. They had patted down three of the suspects and were patting down the fourth suspect when the man produced a gun and shot both officers in the chest. The suspect fled but was later apprehended.

Today, March 19th marks the 24th anniversary of their deaths. They are missed by all of their friends, family, and members of the law enforcement community.

   Patrolman Leonard Lesnieski - 54

  Patrolman Rosairo Collura - 39

Remember them and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

So what exactly are polarioids?

After extensive research on the matter I have come to this conclusion.

Polaroids are what you get when you sit on the ice too long!

Come on spring!
