Reflections for Police Officer Cecil Frank Sledge

Tragically another officer has been killed in the line of duty. May you and all of the men and women in blue who went before him, be there to welcome him with loving arms. Left behind a young widow and year old son. May he rest in eternal peace. Strength and love to the Diller Family and Friends

Forty-four years ago today, Frank walked out the doors of the 69pct, never to return. The loss to us is still great to his family and friends. Since that day and everyday thereafter we remember and will never ever forget. We will continue our fight for justice. We will be his voice.

I work with Cecil in City wide Anti Crime. He was a great cop and a great person may he rest in peace. The scum who killed him should never be set free

On behalf of my family and myself our deepest gratitude for those who took the time to send in petitions against parole. We could not have done it without your support.
Parole has been denied. The next parole hearing is March 2025. Once again we will be there to continue our fight for justice. We will never ever forget. Thank you.

My Dad, may he rest in peace, a NYC P.O during the 60s thru the 80s in the 63 pct. In Brooklyn, often spoke to my mom, brothers and sister about Hero P.O. Cecil Sledge. Officer Sledge’s murder affected him greatly and thru him us. I was shocked to find out that Officer Sledge’s murderer could be granted parole. Why? Rest in Peace P.O.Sledge. Prayers for your family, friends and colleagues.

When I researched your line of duty passing a couple of years ago to try to contribute a nice picture of you in uniform to the website, I found a nice picture of you smiling while getting a community award from police commissioner Michael Codd at the time. I have to find that picture again, it would be nice to contribute it. It was in the Canarsie Courier Newspaper at the Time of your passing in the line of duty.

THANK YOU FOR REMINDING PEOPLE OF ALL THE SACRIFICES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE BY PO SLUDGE AND THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE NYPD. THE SACRIFICES THAT POLICE OFFICERS LIKE OFFICER SLUDGE HAVE MADE PROVE THAT POLICE OFFICERS ARE SUPERIOR TO- AND MORE IMPORTANT- THAN ANYONE ELSE.
