Forty law enforcement officers from the Norfolk Police Department traveled to New York City on their personal vacation time without pay to volunteer their assistance and support to the on-site emergency agencies.
Detective Joseph had served with the Norfolk Police Department for 26 years.
You walked into it and it took years to finish the job.
Detective Joseph gave the Norfolk Police Department 26 years.
Thank you for your service to the Norfolk community. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, Detective Joseph.
