NEW YORK — The New York Police Department is welcoming 1,123 new officers – and for three of them the job is all in the family.
Brothers Alec, John and Stephen Favale were among Tuesday’s graduates.
And cheering them on was their dad, Deputy Inspector Anthony Favale.
Mayor Bill de Blasio saluted all the cadets for joining the nation’s biggest police department. He added special thanks to the Favales for their “family tradition” of service.
Alec and John are 22-year-old twins. Stephen is 24.
They said they’re proud of their dad’s 30-year police career. But Stephen Favale added the NYPD brothers are “just like everybody else who graduated” after working hard. Anthony Favale said it “feels amazing” to have three sons join the police force at once.
