The Lt. Det. Joseph Petrosino Association in America, Inc. honors the
life of the late Lt. Det. Joseph Petrosino, a dedicated public servant who
made the ultimate sacrifice working to make our world a better place.
He gave his life but left behind a legacy and footprint for others to
follow.
Lt. Det. Joseph (Giuseppe) Petrosino was a NYC Police Officer who
served in the early 1900’s. He created the Bomb Squad, the Canine
Squad and the Undercover Squad, all of which are still being used in
today’s police work.
The Mission and Purpose of the Lt. Det. Joseph Petrosino Association in
America, Inc. includes recognizing and honoring those individuals who
make a difference in Law Enforcement, Public Service, Government,
Education and Business with their commitment to the betterment of our
communities. Our mission also includes working with the NYPD and
other organizations who share our vision and mission to recognize the
legacy of Petrosino. We are proud of our affiliation with the NYPD, the
International Association Joe Petrosino in Padula (Sa) and Association
Joe Petrosino Sicilia – Palermo. Through our combined efforts, we hope
to inspire young Italians and Italian Americans here and around the
world to embrace their language, culture and heritage.
