"Officer Davius devoted his life to public service - rising to the rank of Major in the U.S. Army National Guard and joining the NYPD in 2014, when he was assigned to the 79th Precinct. His career was defined by service - to his country and to New York City."
"His life is a powerful reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made by our National Guard members, who balance their roles as citizens, first responders and soldiers."
"Davius was a 'Citizen Soldier' in every sense. He was a decorated Army veteran who served on Joint Task Force Empire Shield, the New York National Guard unit created after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, protecting high-profile transit centers across the city from potential terrorist operations."
