POLICE DEPARTMENT
CITY OF NEW YORK
| From: | Commanding Officer, Ceremonial Unit |
| To: | Retiring Members of the Service |
| Subject: | DONATION OF UNIFORMS |
- The Ceremonial Unit of the Police Academy provides honor guard and pallbearer details to both active and retired members of the service in all ranks. The ceremonial unit/pallbearer detail personnel wear, as part of their winter uniform, the "choker" style winter blouse. Our supply of these chokers is limited to those donated by members of the service who are retiring. The Department does not purchase these uniforms for use by the unit. Because of the heavy use, which these chokers are exposed to in the course of conducting funeral details over the years, the propensity for wear and tear on these blouses is great. In order to maintain an adequate supply of presentable winter blouses for use by honor guard and ceremonial unit personnel, I would like to ask you to consider donating unwanted or unused chokers or summer blouses. We will be happy to provide members donating such garments with a letter, which details the donation as a tax write-off and will pick up the garments form the homes of members who reside in the city or the residence counties. In the course of providing pallbearer and honor guard details to both active and retired members of the service, one of the comments most often heard by the surviving relatives is how nice the choker uniforms look and how they remember when their family member used to wear such a uniform. We would like to ensure that an adequate supply of chokers is on hand to see us through the foreseeable future. Any assistance you could provide to us in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
- Should you wish to donate any old uniforms or have any questions please feel free to
contact the Ceremonial Unit at (212) 477-9744/45.
- For your INFORMATION and CONSIDERATION.
