| he photos on this page were provided to
The PBA Magazine by a prominent figure in
them — retired Patrolman Charlie Murello, who
remains a very active PBA member. In the top
photo, taken in 1955, Murello is the cop on the right
who is holding the sign (the guy on the left, also
holding the sign, was his partner, Dave Ashkenazy).
Ashkenazy and Murello also play leading roles in
the bottom picture, also from 1955, captured by a
Daily News photographer after the officers corralled
some veal parmegiano on-the-hoof that escaped
from a Brooklyn slaughterhouse.
