Bridge In Jones Beach Gets Renamed For NYPD Detective

WANTAGH, NY — Governor Cuomo, who is leaving office next week, signed legislation designating a portion of the Wantagh Parkway for a former NYPD detective.

The "Detective Betsy Horner-Miller Cutrone Memorial Bridge" is an overpass within Jones Beach State Park at Bay Parkway.

"Detective Cutrone was a dedicated public servant whose honorable legacy includes helping us recover and regain our morale after September 11," Governor Cuomo said in a statement. "By naming after her a part of the state highway system near the place where she tragically lost her life, we are paying a subtle tribute to her memory and to her devotion to serving others."

Cutrone served in the 90th Precinct, the 69th Precinct, and with Narcotics Brooklyn North.

As we approach the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, also noteworthy, Cutrone spent time working on the recovery in lower Manhattan.

She was killed in a car crash on the Wantagh Parkway on August 15, 2015.
