We are very pleased to say that our 10-13 for retired Lieutenant Teddy Leoutsakos was a great success. The event took place on Friday evening June 28th, 2013 at Belmont Racetrack and was attended by over 300 of our brother and sister officers from throughout the state.

Teddy was a member of the original executive board of FOCO in 1990. he served in Nassau District Court, at 111 Centre Street and the NYS Court Officers Academy. He was one of our heroes who responded to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

God smiled on us on the 28th as the weather held up until the last race and all of the prizes were distributed. It was a great day filled with fraternal spirit as everyone came together to help Teddy and his wife, Rose. They were very touched by the outpouring of support.
