Investigator who died after drug raid named Westchester's officer of year: "Stuart Cohen, the Westchester County District Attorney's Office senior investigator who died from an illness that officials say he contracted during a drug raid, has been posthumously named the county's officer of the year.
Cohen's parents accepted a plaque from the county police chiefs association during a ceremony Wednesday at Luciano's Italian Restaurant in Yonkers.
District Attorney Janet DiFiore, who was chief of narcotics when Cohen was hired by her office in the 1990s, joined the fallen officer's widow and dozens of law enforcement officers for the event.
'Stu Cohen was a very brave and honorable police officer,' DiFiore said yesterday. 'He was one of the best police officers I ever worked with. He was tenacious and never gave up. He was very honest and ethical. He also had a big, bouncy, very pleasant and pleasing personality.'"
