Retired NYPD Chief Honored During Ceremonial Walkout

 

Nelson began his career in 1973 as a housing officer and decided to retire a few days before his 63rd birthday.

During the ceremonial walkout, Nelson was honored by his fellow colleagues and residents of the neighborhood with cheers and clapping. When asked how he felt about his retirement Nelson said “It’s mixed emotions, of course it’s happy because I’m ending my career, but when you work in the NYPD as long as I did then it’s bittersweet,” he told CBSLocal.
