Assistant U.S. Attorney John P. Collins Jr. of the Southern District of New York was recently named a winner of a 2007 Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association (FLEOA) National Award for his prosecution of two violent Westchester County street gangs, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Collins and others helped indict 37 gang members, authorities said. Collins shared the award with the FBI’s White Plains Resident Agency Violent Crimes Squad and officers of the Westchester County Department of Public Safety and Yonkers Police Department.
