Created January 16th, 2026

Detective Stephen Proscia is a dedicated law enforcement officer with 13 years of service, known for his commitment to protecting our community. After previously overcoming thyroid cancer, he is now facing a new and serious medical challenge.


Following recent neurological symptoms, a brain tumor was discovered, and Detective Proscia has already undergone emergency neurosurgery. He now faces ongoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment, requiring time away from work to focus on recovery.


This fundraiser is organized by coworkers and friends to help ease the financial burden of medical expenses and daily living costs during this difficult time.


Detective Proscia has always been there for others. Now it’s our turn to support him.


Thank you for your generosity and prayers.

I had to undergo emergency surgery to remove a meningioma brain tumor which left me unable to work for an extended period of time. As a civilian, I wish I could contribute more but I understand the hardship that having to undergo this kind of surgery and amount of recovery involved can create. I wish Steve and his family all the best. Congratulations to them on the new baby news. Prayers for a full and complete recovery.
