On March 24th residents of Harbordale, City Officials, and members of the Police Department, joined members of Officer Bryant
Peney's Family to celebrate the naming of a portion of SE 15th Street in his honor.
Officer Bryant Peney was shot on the evening of January 5, 1996, while pursuing a suspect on foot across South Federal
Highway. He passed away in the early morning hours of January 6, 1996 as a result of the bullet wound. Officer Peney was 27
years old and a six-year veteran of the Department who was known for his dedication to the community and love of law enforcement.
He had received10 departmental commendations and 10 commendations from the public. Bryant Peney was a 1986 graduate of St.
Thomas Aquinas High School.
Following his death, the City of Fort Lauderdale honored Officer Peney by renaming Lauderdale Park as Bryant H. Peney
Park (2100 S.W. 4 Avenue). A Bryant Peney memorial monument was dedicated at the park on June 24, 1997. On June 20, 2001,
the Bryant Peney Act was signed into law by then Florida Governor Jeb Bush. The law allows prosecution for murder in the first
degree (Felony Murder) when a perpetrator unlawfully kills a law enforcement officer or another individual when they are committing,
attempting to commit or escaping from the immediate scene of a felony while resisting an officer with violence. The bill was
sponsored by Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler, who at the time was a member of the State House of Representatives.
