He had long retired from the NYPD, but he was not forgotten.
William Brown’s 20-year career with the NYPD ended in 1968 at the rank
of detective, but during his final months the department once again
become an important part of his life.
It started last winter when his neighbor on 119th Ave. in St. Albans,
Queens, called 311 to ask cops to visit the 95-year-old man because she
hadn’t seen him for a few days. He had recently complained that his
house had no heat with the temperatures nearing zero, she said.
Officers with the 113th Precinct visited the home and found it empty.
They eventually found Brown in the hospital, where he had gone to be
treated for hypothermia.
