Inscription. Dedicated to the memory of
Police Officer
Pasquale J. Venturelli
Who's life was taken on January 23, 1943, in the performance of duty.
PO Venturelli, and his partner spotted a car that was reported stolen earlier. They followed the auto onto Carroll St.. When the suspect vehicle slowed down, PO Venurelli seized the opportunity and jumped on the vehicle's running board. At which point the suspect accelerated, lost control of the car, crashed into a pole ejecting PO Venturelli, resulting in a fatal injury to the officer.

PO Venturelli is honored here along with all other officers past and present who have and continue to risk their lives to proudly serve the people of the City of New York.
