Joseph Petrosino
Joseph "Joe" Petrosino (August 30, 1860 – March 12, 1909) was a New York City police officer who was a pioneer in the fight against organized crime. The various crime fighting techniques that Petrosino pioneered during his law enforcement career are still practiced by various agencies.
== Early years and family ==
Petrosino was born Giuseppe Petrosino in Padula, a village in southern Italy. In 1874, the balance of the Petrosino family immigrated to the United States. Joseph had been sent over previously with a young cousin (Antonio Puppolo) to live with his grandfather in New York. An unfortunate streetcar accident took the life of the grandfather, and the two young cousins wound up in Orphans/Surrogates Court. Rather than send the children to the orphanage, the judge took them home to his own family and provided for the boys until relatives in Italy could be contacted and arrangements made to bring over family members. In consequence, Joseph Petrosino and his cousin Anthony Puppolo lived with a "politically connected" Irish household for some time, and this opened up educational and employment avenues not always available to more recent immigrants.〔Jackson, Kenneth T. (1995) ''The Encyclopedia of New York City.'' New York and London: Yale University Press〕
Petrosino married the widow Adelina Saulino (1869−1957), with whom he had a daughter Adelina Petrosino Burke (1908-2004), who gave birth to Petrosino's granddaughter, Susan Burke. Susan represents the Petrosino family at functions honoring the fallen NYPD hero.
A grandnephew, Joseph A. Petrosino is a Brooklyn D.A. and a great grandnephew, Joseph M. Petrosino is an NYPD officer.
