Yesterday, the annual Turban day took place in the heart of New York! Turban Day is a day to learn about the turban and its importance.
A great time was had by all who attended and members of the NYPD were there to ensure everyone’s safety.

This week @nypd, @sikhofficers and the community celebrated Vaisakhi at the NYPD headquarters. Here are some highlights
On this beautiful occasion of Vaiskahi NYC Council Speaker Adrienne E. Adams along with distinguished Council Members hosted Sikh Heritage Month & Vaisakhi. The President of Sikh Officers Association Sergeant Gurvinder Singh was honored and given a Citation. On behalf of all the members we Congratulate Sgt. Gurvinder Singh on his well deserved Award!
The Sikh Officers Association would like to wish all of its members and the Sikh community a Happy Vaisakhi.
Today, around the world Sikhs are celebrating the birth of Khalsa. In 1699 the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh Ji laid down the foundation of the Khalsa Panth by initiating Sikhs to become Saint Soldiers. This gave rise to the Vaisakhi celebration also known as Khalsa Sajna Divas. #sikhofficersassociation #vaisakhi
With the holy month of Ramadan coming to an end we wish our Muslim brothers and sisters Eid Mubarak! @nypdmuslim @nypdpals @nypdbapa @nypdmts
The Sikh Officers Association extends heartfelt congratulations to all promotees, with special recognition to our friends and supporters, Inspector Adeel Rana and Deputy Inspector Misbah Noor. Your dedication and hard work are truly commendable. Wishing you continued success and fulfillment in your roles.
Captain Pratima Bhullar Maldonado has become a rising role model for the Sikh Community. In 2016 she achieved the rank of Sergeant and then in 2018 she achieved the rank of Lieutenant. In 2023 she achieved the rank of captain. She was the first Sikh Female to achieve each rank. We look forward to see more achievements from Captain Maldonado and look forward to her inspiring future generations of Sikh Officers
Funeral arrangements for our hero Police Officer Jonathan Diller who was killed in the line of duty on 3/25/2024. Please keep his family in your prayers!
Today we lost a father, a husband, and someone willing to run towards danger to keep our community safe. Praying for him & his family and his colleagues.
Here at the Sikh Officers Association we care about our members and their wellbeing. Today’s Financial Literacy class with @nypdhealthandwellness and @nypdfinancialclub was a huge success. We want to prepare our members for their future and well past retirement and today was a huge step in the right direction. @nypdjamleo great to have both fraternal groups work together to push the wellbeing of their members to the front.
👮♀️This March, Sikh Officers Association would like to honor and appreciate the women in law enforcement who serve and protect our communities with dedication, bravery, and resilience. Their invaluable contributions and steadfast commitment deserve recognition. We express our heartfelt thanks to all the women in law enforcement for their exceptional service in keeping us safe! Thank you to all the women in law enforcement for your service!
We would like to congratulate Police Officer Parjeet Dhillon on joining the ranks of law enforcement and also keeping his faith intact. Police Officer Dhillon states “Ever since I was young I always knew I wanted to choose a profession that served a purpose greater than myself. I was always invested in selfless service something that I was taught through Sikhi. Therefore, when I started my journey of wanting to become a Police Officer I wanted to connect closer to Sikhi, the values, and represent it in an area where there was very little representation in law enforcement.” Join us in wishing him a safe and successful career.
Members of @sikhofficers joined @nypd and @nypdpea at the Annual Women’s Conference during International Women’s Day.
