Deputy Chief Steven Silks truly was one of the most capable & most dependable cops this profession has ever seen. His entire 39-year NYPD career — much of his adult life, in fact — was devoted to NYC, its police officers, & to fighting crime & protecting all the people we serve. pic.twitter.com/CbrA1f0C9G
