Pena joined the NYPD in 2005 and is assigned to Public Service Area 7 in the Bronx.
In 2017, Pena was lauded on Twitter for giving a Bronx teen cab fare to make it to a basketball game on the other side of the borough.
“This young man needed to get to his game on the other side of the BX, so Sgt Pena paid his cab fare to get there on time. #ActOfKindness,” PSA 7′s then commanding officer Inspector Jerry O’Sullivan tweeted.
