Sabbir Ahmed, brother-in-law of NYPD Detective Didarul Islam killed during the Park Avenue shooting in November 2021, was sworn in as a new police officer on Wednesday. The ceremony took place at the Police Academy in Queens, just over a year after Detective Islam's death. Islam had been working security details when he and three others were shot by Shane Tamura; Islam died from the first fatal shot. Ahmed, 27, emigrated to the United States from Bangladesh at age 14 with dreams of becoming an officer, influenced by his brother-in-law’s encouragement. Despite losing his pregnant wife who later gave birth to their youngest son, Ahmed vowed to carry on Islam's legacy of service and helping others. Commissioner Jessica Tisch honored Islam's memory during the ceremony, noting he was "killed in the line of duty last year while protecting New Yorkers."
