IN MEMORIAM — CHIEF WILLIAM CORVELLO

The Brothers and Sisters of Newport News Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #25 join the entire Virginia law enforcement community in mourning the passing of Chief William Corvello, a distinguished law enforcement leader whose career of public service touched communities throughout the Commonwealth.

Chief Corvello served at the highest level of the Virginia State Police as Superintendent and Colonel, leading the men and women of one of our Commonwealth’s most respected law enforcement agencies.

His commitment to public service continued at the local level, where he served as Chief of Police for the City of Newport News and Chief of Police for the City of Portsmouth.

For the members of Lodge #25 and the Newport News law enforcement family, his passing carries a particularly personal significance. Chief Corvello was not simply a respected leader in Virginia law enforcement—he was part of the history of policing in our own city.

Few people have the opportunity to serve the law enforcement profession in so many important leadership roles. Chief Corvello did so with a lifetime devoted to the officers he led and the citizens he was sworn to protect.

Badges are eventually taken off. Uniforms are hung up for the last time. Titles are passed to those who come after us. But the example we set, the people we influence, and the lives we touch remain long after our final tour of duty.

The Brothers and Sisters of Newport News FOP Lodge #25 extend our deepest condolences to Chief Corvello’s family, friends, and the countless law enforcement professionals who had the privilege of knowing and serving alongside him.

Rest easy, Chief.
Your duty is complete.
We have the watch now.

The Newport News Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 25 held their annual FOP Cops and Kids Christmas event at the Newport News Walmart at Jefferson Avenue and Mercury Blvd. Newport News Police and Sheriff’s Deputies got to help youngsters make Christmas special this year. Due to an overwhelming number of donations, we were able to allow each child to spend $250 for Christmas gifts. We were one of the 1st organizations to do this event and love to say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. N

For over 40 years, the Newport News Fraternal Order of Police has helped make Christmas a little brighter for those who are victims of crime or in need. This could not have been done with out the help and support of local businesses and individuals like you.
