Exclusive: Most senior member of NYPD retires, signs out at 911 Memorial and Museum
Deputy Chief Joseph Gallucci, Executive Officer of the Counterterrorism Bureau, signed off for the last time while at the 911 Memorial and Museum, a sacred location that has left an indelible impression on him.
In 2001, Chief Gallucci was a member of the aviation division and was called into action on that fateful September day. He had been returning to base at Floyd Bennett Field when the tower was hit and was told to fly to the scene. Gallucci not only spent September 11th and the preceding days at Ground Zero, he also has lived with the loss of friends, not only from that morning but also those who have perished due to 911 related illnesses in the years since.
The Counterterrorism Bureau was formed following 911 to prevent future terrorist attacks. Gallucci spent the last 15 years of his career developing the unit, something he told amNewYork Metro that he is both extremely proud and grateful to have been a part of.
