MEET OUR PEA HISTORIAN - RETIRED DETECTIVE FLORA STERN

Flora not only knows our history, she IS a part of our history.

Flora is has been on the PEA Board as the past Retiree’s Representative and now our Historian.

She served in the NYPD from 5/16/1969 – 6/1999.

One of Floras first NYPD assignments, in 1971, was to the Old Headquarters building on Broome Street and then later assigned to 1 Police Plaza.

Flora has many stories from when she was assigned to confidential police work, crowd control, disaster relief & response, traffic assignments, parades and special events, along with administrative duties.

A member of the P.E.A.’s executive board during tenure in NYPD, and in retirement with affiliation

of over 40 yrs. Assigned to Midtown So., Midtown No., and Manhattan So. area. Transferred to

Personnel Orders Section and then to Personnel Bureau, where one of assignments was a liaison to

Albany and Washington, D.C., for investigating old and new cases of officers who died in the line of duty,

for the purpose of having their names placed on the walls of Headquarters, Albany and Washington D.C. Memorial.

Organized many City Blood Drives and helped people reunite with families in Florida.

Active with other police organizations and husband and family helped raise donations from law enforcement

for guide dogs for wounded Veterans. The Policewomen’s Endowment Association is closest to my heart

for helping women in the Department in 100 Years.

As a historian, Flora recalls how the job has changed throughout the years.

Since her retirement, Flora remains vigilant and a strong figure within the PEA board. She and her husband Joel attend every event.

Joel is also the PEA’s first Associate Member of the PEA. Not only is he a supportive husband, he is our biggest cheerleader and believes whole heartedly in our organization.

Not only has Flora lived through a colorful NYPD career, she continues to give by donating Equiptment, photos and other memorabilia to the NYPD museum. Although the NYPD museum is closed due to renovations, the museum continues to preserve her donated items along with all the other donated pieces of history from our PEA sisters.

When you see Flora at the next PEA event, ask her about her experience. The best way to learn about history is directly from someone who lived through it!

Thank you Flora for your constant support and dedication to the Policewomen's Endowment Association!
