Today, the corner of 80th Avenue & Cypress Hills Street in Liberty Park has been renamed as "Patrolman Henry E.A. Meyer Way."

In 1927, Patrolman Meyer made the ultimate sacrifice while trying to arrest two criminals who robbed women praying in a cemetery. His name will forever be memorialized and his sacrifice remembered.

Thank you to all those who participated in the ceremony.

I believe Patrolman Meyer was my Great grandfather. This is a beautiful piece of family history to uncover. The dates and story match up to what I was told as a child and with one aunt and uncle remaining, (Patrolman Meyer’s grandchildren) I am uncovering bits and pieces to my mother’s side of the family in the NYC area. I am so very grateful to read the above posts and wish to thank those who have written and remembered him.

Sincerely,
Deirdre Kuzio

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 85th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. You will always be remembered and revered.

Rest In Peace
