Campisi went to Donnelly in Group 25.
...
Where was Chief Campisi, who missed both the wake, on August 18 and 19th at Wanamaker and Carlough's in upstate Suffern, and the funeral mass, on Aug. 20th at St. Francis of Assisi Church in West Nyack?
Campisi was said to be on vacation and nobody in the office was able to locate him as he left no travel plans.These are supposed to be listed on the back of his request for leave form, called a UF28.
Inspector Thomas Mason, the commanding officer of Campisi's office, was also on vacation.When he returned, he, too, tried but failed to reach Campisi.
Some believed Campisi was in Paris; others, that he was on a European cruise with his wife.The office became more unsettled when they heard that during the week of Donnelly's death, Mrs. C. underwent emergency eye surgery in New York.How could Campisi, a family man, be in Paris or on a European cruise while his wife was in the hospital in New York?
Campisi has yet to explain his absence to his staff."Now the whole office is pissed," says an IAB veteran."They needed a guiding light and he wasn't there."
Printable versionIAB staffers note that Campisi has changed in the decade he has headed IAB.That's a long time to run a bureau, especially a pressure-filled one like IAB, which can give you a warped view of the world and set you apart from most people in it.In terms of longevity, he's approaching, if he hasn't already passed, IAB's legendary leader John Guido.Giudo so distrusted the top brass he refused to attend social functions so that he wouldn't be compromised.
...
Nowadays, like everyone else at Police Plaza, Campisi doesn't move without notifying Commissioner Kelly.
...
And when Campisi subsequently learned of McCarthy's arrest, guess who he assigned to investigate it?
