September 11, 2001

Police Officer Glen K. Pettit, 30, was appointed to the NYPD on December 8, 1997, and began his career on patrol in the 10 Precinct. He was assigned to the Police Academy Production Unit in July 2000.

Besides being a volunteer firefighter since the age of 16, P.O. Pettit was an ardent videographer who was regularly seen at the site of police emergencies. His expertise in that field enabled him to freelance regularly for the New York Times, New York Newsday and News 12 on Long Island. He was one of the first videographers on the TWA Flight 800 crash in July 1996.

A member of the Emerald Society, P.O. Pettit is survived by his parents Jane and Thomas Wixted; sisters Diedre and Tara; and brothers, Joseph, Neil and Thomas.
