Danny,
I only met you once, but my brother being your partner, I felt you were family. You always watched over him, and he thinks of you always, I can tell. You always will be a hero, my inspiration. I feel lucky to have been graced by you, such an honest and loving soul. Rest in peace. We miss you so much. Becky

Detective Enchautegui, On this, the anniversary of your passing i would like to let you know that you have not been forgotten. We are still here fighting for what you believed in and fought for. We already put one piece of s@*t away and now we will put away another. Death by firing squad would be better than life without parole but hey, you know where we live. I will never watch A Bronx Tale again, Rest in peace man, we will never forget... Sergeant Chris DiToro

"My Brother"
Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was idealistic and believed he could make a difference.
He was immensely proud of the uniform and the badge and what they represent.
He felt privileged to be of service to his department, his community and to his country.
He was a cop.
Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was friendly, courteous, and polite, yet firm.
He laughed and joked, but was serious when necessary.
He was competent, trained, and professional.
He was a cop.
Although I never met him, I knew him.
He had a strong sense of right and wrong and became
frustrated when true justice became sidetracked.
He felt the sharp criticism that goes with the job, but he
never wavered.
He stood by and for his fellow officers.
He was a cop.
Although I never met him, I knew him.
He longed for his family during the long hours.
He worried about them during his shifts and the lonely
weekends, holidays and midnights when they were apart.
He felt guilty about the lost time, but knew his calling
and prayed they would understand.
He was a cop.
Although I never met him, I knew him.
He was a good son, a loving husband, and a devoted father.
He was dedicated to the profession and cared about the
people he served.
He wanted to do the best job that he could and strived to
be the best he could be.
He was a good citizen and a good neighbor.
He was a cop.
Yes, I did know him.
He was a cop, he was my Brother.
Rest easy Brother Enchautegui, we have the watch...
”I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.”
---Isaiah 6:8
You answered the call and made the ultimate sacrifice. Rest easy in God's kingdom and watch over us as we continue the battle here on earth!!! Officer

I just read an article on the incident that took your life. I just wanted to tell you that you were very brave that day, a true hero.
Please watch over the rest of us and know that you will never be forgotten, even by officers you never met. Sarge

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

I was very sad to learn today that your mother passed away, just months after your father; the pain of your death more than either could handle.
I can only hope that the three of you are together again.

I can't stop thinking about Detective Daniel Enchautegui's courage and dedication toward his job. He is an absolute hero and I am proud to say that I rode in his honor in 2006 with the Police Unity Tour from N.J. to Washington, D.C. I continue to wear my bracelet with his name, department and end of watch engraved with honor and pride and will never take it off. The law enforcement family will miss you dearly. Even though we never met, I will never forget him. Rest in peace my brother. Sergeant Peter Iossa
