The Daily Mail reports that Frank Serpico, a legendary former NYPD detective, was finally formally awarded his Medal of Honor.
Half a century after Frank Serpico bravely exposed pervasive corruption
in the NYPD, he finally received his long overdue Medal of Honor
certificate.
Serpico, 85, on Thursday took to Twitter to show off
his award, including a gilded frame containing his medal, an official
certificate and an old black-and-white photo depicting him as a fresh-faced
uniformed police officer.
The honors arrived less than two months after the newly
elected New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a former NYPD captain, publicly
promised to make sure that Serpico gets his certificate, writing that the
whistleblower's bravery inspired his own law enforcement career.
