VSP Trooper & Brooklyn Native Pays Tribute to NYPD Officers VSP was represented by Trooper R.J. Caldon at the Dec. 27 funeral for New York City Police Officer Rafael Ramos. Officer Ramos and his partner, Officer Wenjian Liu, were gunned down Dec. 20 as they sat in their patrol car in Brooklyn. For Trooper Caldon, a Brooklyn native and VSP Honor Guard member, the tragic deaths of the NYPD officers were very personal. At the funeral, he was reunited with childhood friend, NYPD Detective J. Levy. The two had not seen each other in 20 years. “The people of New York walked up to me and hugged me saying ‘thank you for showing your presence,’” recalls Trooper Caldon. “There were thousands of police from as far as Canada to New Orleans. Multiple state troopers were in attendance, as well.” Officer Liu’s funeral will be held in January 2015.
