July 31 (UPI) -- New York's police commissioner promoted slain officer Didarul Islam to detective during his funeral at a Bronx mosque on Thursday morning.
Thousands of police officers, local officials and mourners lined the street outside the Parkchester Jame Masjid mosque in the Bronx to honor Islam.
"Look at all the NYPD officers here and outside this mosque and across this city who stand with you," New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch told Islam's family while speaking at the funeral.
"I am so heartbroken for you and your family," Tisch said.
