Town of Salina Community Center Naming/ Dedication “Hoosock-Jensen Salina Community Center”

Unveiling ceremony the Hoosock-Jensen Salina Community Center, Town of Salina honors fallen heroes Liverpool, NY – On July 22nd, Town of Salina Supervisor Nick Paro was joined by the families of Onondaga County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Michael Hoosock and Syracuse Police Department Officer Michael Jensen to unveil the new name of the Town of Salina Community Center as the Hoosock-Jensen Salina Community Center. Like many in our community, I remember the night of April 14th vividly. It was a night that struck terror in the hearts of a neighborhood and forever changed the trajectory of the Hoosock and Jensen families. That night, we saw what true heroism looked like. “The pain felt by the Hoosock and Jensen families will never truly wane, but neither will the gratitude that residents of the Town of Salina have for these brave men. They gave the ultimate sacrifice and laid down their lives for residents of a community who they very well may never have met.” “Nothing could ever bring back the lives of these men, but it is my honor as Town Supervisor in Salina to commemorate their heroism and honor their sacrifice with the dedication of our new Community Center,” Paro concluded. “This building will carry the names of our heroes for decades to come, and generations will learn about Lt. Hoosock and Officer Jensen.’”
