WHITE PLAINS - A city police car once driven by Detective Michael Perry, who died of a heart attack in 2010 after chasing and catching a career thief, has been transformed into a memorial to Perry and Officer Charles Palmara, who was killed in a motorcycle chase in 1946.

 

"We heard it was going to be sold, and decided that we wanted to keep it in the blue family as a memorial," said Rob Riley, president of the White Plains Police Benevolent Association. The PBA bought "Car 18," a 2009 Ford Crown Victoria, from the city for $3,000 in February and has been fixing it up since.

Mike was a really awesome guy. I worked with him back when he worked at NYCDEP. I can't say enough good things about him. This is a fitting tribute to him.

The PBA had to buy the car for $3,000?  Why couldn't the City of White Plains donate it?

Oh yes must not forget  this is the CITY OF WHITE PLAINS.
