Long Islanders pay Long Islanders pay tribute to fallen officers
A special tribute was held in Eisenhower Park today to honor two Nassau County officers who gave their lives protecting Long Islanders.
Hundreds showed up Eisenhower Park for a fundraiser in memory of Nassau Police officers Michael Califano and Geoffrey Breitkopf.
Califano died Feb. 5 when a flatbed truck crash into his patrol car on the Long Island Expressway. A month later, Breitkopf was shot and killed by friendly fire while on the job.
The double tragedy inspired people from both Suffolk and Nassau counties. Participants paid a $20 dollar entry fee for a day of family fun that will go toward helping the families of both officers.
