Joseph Mariconda.
Patrolman Joseph Mariconda and Patrolman Patrick Harrington were killed in a helicopter accident while on duty. The helicopter in which they were conducting traffic patrol in suddenly lost power and crashed into a house at 82-22 262nd Street, in Queens. Patrolman Mariconda had served with the New York City Police Department for 18 months and was assigned to the Aviation Unit. Before joining the NYPD, he had served as a helicopter pilot for the United States Army during the Vietnam War and had been shot down twice during his tour of duty.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Patrolman Mariconda gave the New York City Police Department 1 year.
Thank you for your service to the New York community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
