Two Auxiliary Police Officers Killed in Greenwich Village
in response to reader comment: they should have been armed

Submitted by ex aux officer, Mar 21, 2007 12:46

i was a auxiliary police officer and i had a rank of sgt i protected my apo's by not getting them in any kind of danager but when traning kicks in anything can happen.but the main point is that all auxs should have some type of protection. we all risk all our lives to be eyes and ears of the nypd and we should have something more by the police department.its not worth it to carry a baton for protection its not enough any longer.something should be done by the city and the police department to protect there unarmed,unsong heros.
