Retired NYPD Detective

World War II veteran, 369th Infantry Regiment, Harlem Hellfighters

The 113th Precinct organized a wake and funeral service.

There was a standing-room only crowd of police officers for the service Thursday 16 Jun 2016 at the First Church of God in Christ in Jamaica.

Brown was assigned for most of his career to the 79th precinct in Brooklyn, but he did stints in the 104th Precinct in Queens and the 25th Precinct in Harlem.

He received department honors for rescuing a woman and her child from a burning building in 1960, busting a man with a loaded gun in 1962, and arresting a burglar armed with a knife in 1964.
