Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Although many years have gone by, you are still my hero. I was in the police academy when you were taken from us. I was so deeply saddened. I will forever honor your life and thank you for your outstanding service. You paved the way for fellow female officers such as myself who came behind you. God bless you my sister, and your beautiful family. Rest in peace.

Her killer must stay in prison. these were violent times that only those who were there could understand. She is one the bravest young women God has created and took way too soon.

Philip...I had just gotten on the job in July of 1984 and I share your sentiments about this tragedy. Such a terrible, terrible thing to happen. Her name has also been with me all these years.

I had just gotten on the job in January of 1984. When we found out about this, it wasn't easy to bear. I took it personally that anyone could do such a viciously, horrible thing. My heart was broken and I have never forgotten about Irma. I still talk about her til this day. Rest in peace Irma! You will always be missed!

I was working a day tour in the 83rd Precinct when we got word from District 33 that a female Transit Police Officer was missing. I hung around the precinct until we got word that she had been found dead in an empty lot that covered in garbage. I cried even though I had never met her thinking about her last thoughts and how she must have felt when that animal shot her. I also cried when I thought about how she had lain in that garbage and trash for possibly hours all alone. No, I shall never 4get one of the saddest days of my career. May you 4ever R.I.P. my sister in blue in Heaven!!!

Sad to say I remember that day. I was working as a detective in the Bronx. I remember attending too many cop funerals and now, nearly 25 years after retiring, tonight I will be going to the Memorial Mass I'm having said for Brian Moore who was gunned down in Queens earlier this year. I worked with his uncle Ronnie, in the 88 Pct in the early 70s. May all officers killed in the line of duty Rest In Peace

I joined the Transit Police Department in 1985, and we were told about the tragedy of that day. I will never forget Irma Lozada, and to this day I still speak about her during my seminars....

Even though I have never personally met Irma, she will always be forever in my heart...

my memories of fran we had meet on the m line on Knickerbocker and myrtle. we had become very good friends used to go out and eat lunch when ever we could meet up. see I was A auxiliary police officer out of the 83rd precinct I started to develop a relationship with fran in early 1982 this is something that i never talked about. but those who knew her I was her tennis star so she called me. she was a great person funny personality never forget how our conversation started she asked me if I knew what nationality she was i had said I thought you was Puerto Rican she advised me that she was Spanish she asked me what nationality I told her I was Italian and came from Sicily she told me how she liked European men here I was a 20 year old male didn't know what to do i felt like she was hitting on me but I didn't think it would be possible for a especially pretty girl police officer to like me in that way but she did an we had gone out a few times into the city to watch a movie and to grab some dinner yes we used to meet up an awful lot on post my coordinator used to flip out on me because we were not allowed to hang out by the train station especially that I was making gun arrest every time I went out I think that's what got frans attention about me that I have received Medal of Valor for a homicide back in 1982 along with several commendations an merits the day that my partner came to get me an said that fran is missing we drove over to Evergreen a covert with the search team was going on and assisted with the search it was crushing when they finally found her my life had just came to a halt my heart just got ripped out of my chest do I say anything do I tell any body of our friendship but I paid my respectson that very sad day at the wake and funeral
tears coming down my face all I hear is people saying look at the tears coming down his face not knowing the real pain that I was going through not being able to address her mother and her brother on who I was to fran all I seen was all the brass that came to pay their respects like Who am I so for the last 30 years I crawled in a hole come out to let everybody know little bit about fran and what you meant to meret

I worked with Irma at the bakery at Macy's before she joined the force. Even then she'd warned shoppers during the Christmas rush to be watchful of pickpockets! Hard to believe she has been gone over three decades but I can still recall the sound of her voice.

Officer Irma lozada, Fran, you were the bell of our academy class, a dedicated cop, and now and forever an angel who will never be forgotten Rest in peace

A woman’s life is not measured by her wealth or status, but by what she does with his time on earth, be that many or just a few years. Police Officer Irma Lozada did much with his years.

I stand in awe at the bravery of this young officer and the too many other officers who’s names grace these pages. In these current times I stand proud and strong in the knowledge that I do so, shoulder to shoulder with the men and women, worldwide, who also have the courage to serve as a Law Enforcement Officer for their community.

My deepest condolences to the family and colleagues of Police Officer Irma Lozada. I will not forget her sacrifice and what she stood for, as a woman, a daughter, a sister, a friend and as a LEO.

I was in the NYC Police Academy when we lost you. I remember feeling heartbroken for your family and afraid because I was a young female also about to begin the same career where you lost your life. But I continued on thinking about you and honoring you throughout my career. You were brave and you paved the way for female officers such as myself. Thank You my sister for your dedication and service. You will forever have a place in my heart. God Bless You Always.

Of all that have made the utlimate sacrifice for the job they loved so much it is your memory and passing that elicates the most emotion. Obvoiusly I did not personally know you as the end of watch for you came a year before I was appointed to the Transit PD but many of whom I meet in my travels, especially within the confines of District 33, were your co-workers and friend. Seeing their pain and sorrow for you just by the mention of your name even years after Wilson Ave has always stuck with me and puts you in a very special place as clearly your presence in the NYCTPD had a profund impact on all in the most postive way. Rest in Peace Irma Lozada you will never be forgotten.
