Linda Silverman Buczek

Just heard of Captain Linda Buczek's passing. I had the honor of working for Captain Linda. She was a very good police officer and I truly enjoyed working for her in the 2nd District before I left NOPD to go to Bossier City Police. My condolences to all of her loved ones and may she rest in peace...

Ben, I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your mother; she was a great lady! Let me know if you need anything. -Austin

Captain Buczek was a wonderful person and commander. Whenever I had a conversation with her, I always walked away feeling positive. I was saddened to hear of her passing.

Linda and I became fast friends through Tai Chi - a pursuit we marvelled at, drew energy from, and thoroughly enjoyed in shared classes, excursions, and endless conversations. Her groundedness and generosity of heart benefited everyone who met her. I miss her terribly. Deepest condolences to her loving family.

This is certainly sad news. She was an incredible officer who was a little early in the process for women to be accepted as chiefs. She would have made an incredible Chief of Police at NOPD. And a positive influence on policing for years to come. Many blessing to her family and friends. So unfair.

Linda was a trailblazer and always stood up for what was right. A good and loving person whom I will miss

I had the privilege of working for Linda Buczek at NOPD. She was a professional law enforcement officer. She had a positive effect on many of her co-workers, including me. RIP, Captain Buczek.

The respect that I had for Captain Buczek and the honor it was to work for her is beyond words. Linda was more than a working partner she was a friend. Her loyalty was unbreakable. Rest in Peace my dear friend until we meet again.

So sad to hear of her passing. She was a friend and coworker. I had the pleasure of traveling with her to Russia for work and we thoroughly enjoyed it . She will be missed.
