Post launches fund for hero cop’s daughters

Today The Post writes a $25,000 check to launch the Police Officer Peter Figoski Education Fund — which is meant to guarantee the education of the slain officer’s four grieving daughters.

Figoski, a 22year NYPD veteran, was shot to death as he answered a burglaryinprogress call in Brooklyn early yesterday.

The officer was devoted to his daughters: Christine, 20, a student at SUNY Oneonta; Caitlyn, 18, a student at SUNY Plattsburgh; Carolyn, 16; and Corrine, 14.

New Yorkers can never repay fully the debt they owe Figoski, to be sure.

But a contribution to guarantee the girls’ schooling would be a fitting down payment.

Checks should be mailed to: The Peter Figoski Education Fund
