The Detective Rafael Ramos Foundation has selected Sunset Park native JW Cortes as its new president.
Cortés, an actor and Marine veteran, has a long history with the non-profit organization, which seeks to bring the police and the community together.
The foundation honors the memory of Officer Rafael Ramos, who, along with his partner, Officer Wenjian Liu, was murdered in the line of duty in 2014. Both officers were promoted to detective after their deaths.
