Assembly Resolution No. 605

BY: M. of A. Gibbs

        MOURNING  the  untimely death of Detective Wilbert
        Mora,  committed  NYPD  law   enforcement   officer,
        beloved  son  and brother, and devoted member of his
        community

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this  Legislative  Body  to  convey  its
grateful appreciation and heartfelt regret in recognition of the loss of
a courageous and hardworking NYPD Detective who dedicated his purposeful
life and career in faithful service to both his family and the residents
of New York State; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  with  profound  sadness that this Legislative Body
records the passing of 27-year-old Wilbert Mora, an East Harlem  native,
who gave the ultimate sacrifice four days after responding to a domestic
call in Harlem, on Friday, January 21, 2022; and

  WHEREAS, Wilbert Mora was put on life support until Tuesday, January
25, 2022, allowing his organs to be harvested for transplant; even after
death,  he  continued to serve others, donating his heart, liver, kidney
and pancreas to five individuals who  were  in  desperate  need  of  his
lifesaving gift; and

  WHEREAS,  Wilbert  Mora  earned his bachelor's degree from CUNY John
Jay College in Manhattan in 2018;  during  this  time,  he  studied  the
effects  of  stop-and-frisk  tactics and less confrontational strategies
like community policing in  New  York  City's  predominantly  Black  and
Latino neighborhoods; and

  WHEREAS,  After  graduating,  Wilbert  Mora  joined the NYPD and was
assigned to the 32nd Precinct proudly serving the  Northeastern  portion
of Harlem; in his short yet exemplary career, he made 35 arrests; and

  WHEREAS, Wilbert Mora was forever dependable, loyal, and kind, three
extraordinary  attributes  that  made  him an amazing police officer; he
will be remembered for his constant smile and positive attitude; and

  WHEREAS, To know Wilbert Mora was to love him, and, if you did, then
you were one of the lucky ones; he was  a  true  hero,  Detective,  son,
brother, and friend; and

  WHEREAS,  Armed  with a humanistic spirit and imbued with a sense of
compassion, Wilbert Mora leaves behind a legacy which will  long  endure
the  passage  of  time  and will remain as a comforting memory to all he
served and befriended; he will be deeply missed  and  truly  merits  the
grateful tribute of this Legislative Body; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
mourn the death of Wilbert Mora, and to express its deepest  condolences
to his family, colleagues and friends; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the family of Detective Wilbert Mora.
