Detective Terry Cousino put the final brushstroke, his signature, on the second floor mural in the Safety Building. The well thought out mural was six years in the making and a masterpiece of true talent and heart. Cousino tells the story of the department through painfully accurate renderings he painted in a purposeful sequence. When he had no “down time” to dedicate to the mural during his normal workday, he would come in during his off-night hours and work quietly by himself. Cousino has the heart of a policeman who desired to preserve the proud history of the department he serves, and the heart of a father who wanted to leave a legacy for his son, Ben, to look upon with pride.
