friends commemorated the life of NYPD Detective Brian Simonsen today along with a
charity that was created in his name.
Det.
Simonsen, of Calverton, was killed by friendly fire in 2019 while responding to
a robbery at a T-Mobile store in Queens.
Officials
are making sure his name is remembered forever with an Assembly resolution.

me, this is our whole goal for Brian, never to be forgotten and through the
foundation that's what we're trying to do, just carry on his name," said Leanne

Detective Brian "Smiles" Simonsen Memorial Foundation recently
donated a new kennel to, was also in attendance at the event.
