"Today was a long time coming, but East New York finally gets what it deserves: A street named after a true hero," Jeffrey Maddrey, the NYPD's Chief of Department, emphasized. This ceremony not only honored Officer Peter Figoski but also highlighted the need to remember those who gave their lives in service. A street renamed in his honor is a lasting tribute to his courage and dedication to the community he served.
One of Figoski's daughters, Caroline O'Callaghan, expressed, "At that time, the NYPD said they would never forget, and now [13 years later], they kept their promise. I'm glad that the heroic acts of our father will never be forgotten." This statement captures the profound impact of her father's sacrifice on the family and reflects the community's commitment to honor his memory.
