We’re reminded by the office of District Attorney Joe Hynes that 2009 is the 100th anniversary of the death of Lt. Giuseppe (Joseph) Petrosino, the first NYPD officer killed abroad in the line of duty. He’d been sent to Sicily to investigate organized crime. 
Mr. Hynes and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly will be at a ceremony laying a 100-year centennial marker at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Roman Catholic Church 7201 15h Avenue Brooklyn, New York today at 11:00 A.M.
