SALVATORE "SAL" SCARPATO

DOB:10-8-1946 DOD:6-12-2022 RET:6/19/1996 ASSN:12thDistrict,1stDistrict, NarcoticsField Unit,TheUnitedStatesMint

Salvatore "Sal" Scarpato passed awayunexpectedlyonSunday,June 12, 2022. Upon his discharge from the United States Army, Sal embarkedonamemorablecareerinlaw enforcement. Sal was a dedicated twenty-eight year veteran of the Philadelphia Police Department serving in the 1st District, the 12th DistrictandtheNarcoticsFiledUnit before retiring from the department in 1996. Buthis dedication to service didn't end there. Immediately upon retirement from the police department, Sal took a position as an officer at the United States Mint whereheserveduntilhisretirement in 2010. His devotion to duty was onlyexceededbyhisdevotiontohis lovingwifeRita. Anditwasthatdevotion to his wife that ultimately hastenedhisretirementfromlawenforcement. Hiswifediedin2015.

Salwasnotonlyoneofthemost unique cops that I ever met, but one of the most unique individuals as well. His knowledge of drug work was nearly encyclopedic. The way thathecommandedrespectfromnot onlyhispeers,butfromhissupervisors, district attorneys and even private attorneys was inspiring to so many of us who were fortunate enough to have worked with him. And then there was his personality. He possessed a biting and acerbic witthatproducedsomeofthequickestonelinersandretortsthatanyone ever heard before or are likely to ever witness again. They were so brilliantandsofastthattheyleftone,

often the person on the receiving end, in sheer and utter wonder as to just how he was able to do it. And no one, regardless of rank, sex or race was immune from those verbal barbs. In short, you knew that he was coming for you sooner or later. You just never knew when, exactly, that would be. And as if all of that weren't enough, he possessed an endlesscuriosityaboutallthingsrelating to the history of the United States. Andwhileheneverpursued acollegiateacademiccareer,henevertheless possessed a knowledge of both history and life in general that rivaled, and often exceeded, anything that could be learned in the finestofuniversities.

Salleftanindeliblemarkonthe careers of so many officers, both rookies and veterans, everywhere that he worked. I know that he left one on mine when we worked together in the Narcotics Unit more than thirty years ago. He was a friend, a teacher and, in my case in particular,aprotector. Iftherewere a Mount Rushmore for narcotics cops,Salwouldcertainlybeapartof it. AndiftherewereaCooperstown oraCantonforthatverysamething, Salwouldunquestionablyhavebeen enshrinedinhisfirstyearofeligibility.

I know that I speak for so many whenIsaythatbothmypersonallife and my professional life were made betterbecauseofSal. Sal-allofus in the "Narcotics Filed Unit First Tuesday Dinosaur Club" will miss seeingyouatourmonthlylunchesat the FOP as well as our frequent get togethersatChickie'sandPete's. We willallmissyourstories. Thestories that were told over and over again. And, despite that, they only seemed to get funnier each time they were told. We will all miss your passion and love for the Phillies. Your knowledgeandloveofbaseballwas equal to your love of history. But, evenmoreso,wewillmissthebond that each of us shared with you. A bond that is like a metal that was forged in the fire of our collective experiences in this profession. But, unlike some metals, it is truly unbreakable. Salunderstoodthatbetter than anyone. That bond is the yoke that joins all of us together in this profession - and that is both the promiseandthepledgetoalwaysdo the right thing, to always faithfully enforcethelawand,aboveall,toalways make certain that each of us fulfills the first rule of law enforcement "Make sure when your shift isover,yougohomealive. " Youdid thatforme. Andforsomanyothers aswell.

Godspeed, my friend and rest easy. Thedutiesofyournextassignment include watching over us who arestillfightingthewarofgoodversus evil. And to help heal those of us who are, for better or worse, still dealing with the aftereffects of that samewar.

Respectfullysubmitted,
