Tonight we were honored to have CPD Lt. Mercado give a presentation about his life, career, and his time with the NYPD, to include his service during 9/11. It is crucial that we remember the heroes, sacrifices, and lessons of 9/11 and impart those memories on the younger generations. Lt. Mercado currently serves the Collierville Police Department as the Criminal Investigations Division supervisor, and also serves multiple universities as an adjunct professor.
