-Michael Harringtons face turned red in court as Judge Gregory Woods imposed the sentence.Mr. Harrington was entrusted to protect the public without fear or favor. He misused that trust Woods said.The ex-cop was also ordered to complete 180 hours of community service pay $6 000 in restitution and a $5 000 fine.Harrington pleaded guilty in March to a single count of misusing police resources for the benefit of deep-pocketed Mayor de Blasio donor Jeremy Reichberg. He has retired from the department.I know I let a lot of people down including the public Harrington said in a brief statement adding that he hoped his former colleagues and three daughters would learn from his mistakes.After the sentencing Harrington emerged from the courtroom smiling as dozens of supporters many of them police officers gave him and his attorney a loud applause.Among Harringtons favors for Reichberg: An NYPD escort for a prominent Jewish man’s funeral a visit to NYPD training grounds for “seriously ill” children a sightseeing trip in an NYPD boat as part of a barbecue and an order that a police counterterrorism squad monitor a Midtown synagogue during some Jewish holidays.In perhaps the most notorious example Harrington arranged for an NYPD helicopter to fly over a boat in the East River where Reichberg hosted a party in the summer of 2015.In return Assistant U.S. Attorney Martin Bell said Reichberg gave Harrington a veritable showering of gifts like a Nintendo Wii and free meals at fancy restaurants.Who among 8 (million) to 9 million New Yorkers expects a helicopter to fly over his dinner cruise to look like a big shot Bell asked. We had one here. He was enabled by Mr. Harrington.The disgraced cop comes from a large family of law enforcement. Hed hoped to avoid any time behind bars for fear of being abused by inmates.Hes what they call in the police department a work church and home guy Harringtons attorney Andrew Weinstein said of his client.Harrington had said he knew the favors were wrong but he didnt realize until much later that they were also illegal.The misuse of NYPD resources Harrington pleaded guilty to had been historically handled administratively in the department Weinstein argued.Other higher-ranking cops had also been showered with gifts but not faced charges the attorney said adding Harrington was a scapegoat.Where are all these other high-ranking NYPD officials of far-greater culpability Weinstein asked before a courtroom filled with cops.While a cop Harrington was an ally of former Chief of Department Philip Banks who has been identified in court papers as an unindicted co-conspirator.Reichberg is awaiting trial in October alongside another disgraced cop retired-NYPD Deputy Inspector James Grant. And another Brooklyn businessman and de Blasio donor Jona Rechnitz is cooperating with prosecutors in the case.Bell said that with the exception of Grant Harrington had the clearest record of getting substantial benefit from Reichberg and doing things for him in return.The prosecutor said the scandal had reinforced distrust between the department and the public. In an emotional moment Bell recalled growing up in Crown Heights in the 1990s and the gulf between police and the community.When that erosion (of trust) is based on something real it validates the darkest concerns in a community about whether the police department values them Bell said.
