Officer Alcamo was killed in an accident while responding to a call.

Officer Alcamo and his partner were responding to assist officers from the New York City Housing Authority Police Department with a call of an emotionally disturbed person in the Edgemere Housing Projects. As they travailed on Beach Channel Drive near 105th Street, the patrol car hit a wet patch in the road and Officer Alcamo's partner lost control of the car. The patrol car skid sideways and stuck a utility pole on the passenger side, killing Officer Alcamo.

Officer Alcamo had served with the New York City Police Department for four years and was assigned to the 100th Precinct. He is survived by his wife.

Even though 20 years have passed since Joe went to heaven he is remembered by all who knew him. He was a fine officer, there were NONE better. Those who worked the late tour in Rockaway both in the 100 and 101 became close since there was no one else close by when things became tough. There was a spirit of comradery that prevailed. It didn't matter who needed help, us, housing, transit - we were all blue and that's the way it was and I hope still is today. Joe exemplified that spirit. God bless you Joe, you are in my prayers as are Millie and Stephanie.
