“We are deeply grateful to law enforcement officers who responded quickly and decisively to this threat and to the officer of Islam, who gave his life to protect others,” read the memo.
The 36 -year -old man had been on the strength for four years before being killed on Monday evening. He was a father married to two young boys, and his wife is pregnant with their third child, said NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch.
Islam, an immigrant from Bangladesh who was assigned to the 47th district of NYPD in the Bronx, was one of the two officers in uniform of the high height of Park Avenue when the shooting occurred.

The two officers worked there as part of the paid detail program, which allows companies to hire officers in uniform as additional security, said Tisch.
NYPD said Islam “represented the best in our department”.
“He protected the New York from danger when his life was tragically shortened today,” added the NYPD. “We join prayer during this incomprehensible period of pain. We will forever honor its inheritance.”
