Once again, I'm honored to give both a reflection, and to give remembrance to Police Officer Kenton Britt. Kenton was simply a kind, warm hearted and caring human being who gave "110" percent of himself to performing his job to the highest standards of the New York City Police Department. Because of Kenton's devotion to the People of New York City, New York State he will never be forgotten.
