Memorials

Roadway Renamed

On February 21, 2012 the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) granted permission to the City of Poughkeepsie Police Benevolent Association to rename Railroad Avenue to Detective John Falcone Memorial Avenue. The private roadway is owned and operated by the MTA and is the site where Falcone's death occurred.[5]

Highway Renamed

On April 29, 2014 a 2-mile section of U.S. Route 9 was approved legislation by The Senate Transportation Committee to be designated the John M. Falcone Memorial Highway. The highway is a major thoroughfare in and out of the City of Poughkeepsie.[6]

On August 1, 2014 the section of highway in Dutchess County, NY was officially named in honor of City of Poughkeepsie Police Officer John Falcone by New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. A portion of the roadway on U.S. Route 9 was designated as the "Detective John M. Falcone Memorial Highway" after Falcone, an 18-year police veteran was killed in the line of duty while trying to protect a three-year-old girl in 2011.[7]

Annual Detective John M. Falcone Memorial Ride

The New York State Supreme Court Officers Association as well as the City of Poughkeepsie Benevolent Association holds an annual memorial motorcycle ride in honor of the slain police officer.[8]

Each year hundreds of riders participate in the event including law enforcement, local riders and motorcycle clubs. The ride was created to honor a courageous man and local hero who made the ultimate sacrifice while in the line of duty while trying to save the life of a three-year-old girl.[9]
