I can never recall my career in law enforcement without Lt. Patterson being up front and center. He carried me to Tharrington’s at Tarrytown to get my firstduty belt, gave me the best advice he could about the life that lay ahead of me and I still use that advice today. He was fair and honest in all our dealings and will truly be missed. RIP Lt. Patterson.
Thanks Sgt Sikes
