Tiffany Chambers of the Appellate Division, Second Department; and the Queens County Family Court Command. The award that these officers were presented is named in honor of Justice Reinaldo E. Rivera, a former Associate Justice of the Second Department who was the first hispanic associate justice on the bench of the court."
"Second Department Associate Justice Cheryl Chambers and other judges who presented the awards, described how court safety has a variety of meanings from comforting a juvenile in family court to maintaining the consistency that improves pride in the courts. Because of you, the rule of law governs our courtrooms. That role is essential at all times and especially when institutions are tested. We recognize you, we respect you, and we depend on you, said Chambers."
