The widow and a colleague of an NYPD officer who was killed in the line of duty last month have received $5,000 each from The Archangel Blue Foundation.
Lisa Tuozzolo and Sgt. Emmanuel Kwo — who was wounded during a shootout that killed Tuozzolo’s husband, Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo — were handed the generous gifts at the Brosnan Risk Consultants Christmas Party by organization head and retired Detective Patrick Brosnan.
The pair stood alongside Sergeant Benevolent Association Vice President Bob Ganley as they received the checks.
Brosnan established The Archangel Blue Foundation after the fatal shootings of NYPD Officers Rafael Ramos and Wemjian Liu as they sat in their patrol car in December 2014.
“The fund was set up to assist NYPD police officers and their families who are either wounded or slain,” Brosnan said. “We have given out over $75,000 since we started the fund.”
