I remember the day I saw him holding the letter of acceptance to the NYPD academy and the first thing he tells me is that he will not be able to be promoted to the rank of Auxiliary Sergeant."Are you kidding me!? You been looking forward to this day and it has arrived, so go out there and you do you." I said to him. I was happy to see him on foot patrol on Tremont Ave., the same streets we patrolled together as Auxiliaries in the 48th Pct. and later at a crime scene in the 43rd Pct. I just got home from my School Safety tour in Bklyn North when the News flashed a teaser of a Bx. cop shot in a robbery. The front of the building was on the screen and right then and there I knew it was Serrano. I cried and my wife did also cause she was also an Auxiliary that knew him and together we went to his wake and burial to pay respect to a dear friend...May you continue to Rest in Peace and never be forgotten...FIDELIS AD MORTEM...
