was a different matter, and the Diallo family eventually received $3,000,000 as compensation. Such civil lawsuits seek to hold the police to a common standard of professionalism discernible in practices and procedures developed in good police departments nationwide. Fyfe regularly testified as to what those standards were, almost always as part of lawsuits charging police departments with operating under unconstitutional "custom, policy, or practice." In 2002, he took a leave of absence from John Jay College of Criminal Justice to become Deputy Commissioner for Training with the NYPD. He died of cancer in 2005, aged 63. He had three children and five grandchildren. Fyfe's papers are housed in the Special Collections at Lloyd Sealy Library, John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
