Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at 10:00 AM, the New York Police Department - HWY 3 held a Headstone ceremony celebrating and honoring Police Officer Kenton Britt. In attendance were high ranking members of the NYC Police Department along with members of the New York State Police and NYC Fire Department. Most notable attendees were members of Kenton's family, his three sisters (Valerie, Annette and Linda) as well as a host of cousins including his 93 years old cousin David. The ceremony was simply beautiful and certainly fitting for this beautiful person we call Kenton aka Kenny.
