The daughter of a slain NYPD officer cut the ribbon at the start of Sunday’s Dominican Day Parade in Manhattan in honor of her mother.

“I just want to say thank you to the entire Dominican Day Parade for dedicating this — something as significant as this — to my mother. And she deserves it,” said Genesis Villella, 20, daughter of fallen NYPD Officer Miosotis Familia.

The mother of three was killed on July 5 by a bullet that tore into the mobile police command where she was stationed in The Bronx. Gunman Alexander Bonds, who had it out for cops, was fatally shot moments later by responding officers.

Parade organizers dedicated the day to Familia, 48, and presented her family with a lifetime service award for her dedication to the force.

The award was presented to Villella during a ceremony held before the official start of the parade. NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill and hundreds of officers stood alongside Familia’s eldest and 12-year-old twins Peter and Delilah Vega as they accepted the accolade on their mother’s behalf. The children stoically held a picture of Familia as the New York Dominican Officers Organization presented them with a flag.

“Her legacy will never fade from importance or memory,” O’Neill, the city’s top cop, wrote on Twitter earlier Sunday.

Mayor de Blasio and NYPD police walked with the slain officer’s family as they made their way up Sixth Avenue.

DJ Anuedy Genao was happy to support the NYPD on Sunday.

“It was a good decision to dedicate the parade to the officer that was killed,” Genao told The Post along the parade route.

“[Cops] risk their lives for us,” the 36-year-old Queens man added. “So it’s sad when they die in the line of duty.”

An award ceremony was also held to honor the parade’s ambassadors, including Deputy Brooklyn Borough President Diana Reyna, Civil Court Judge Llinet Rosado and various other professionals.

The Dominican Day Parade celebrated its 35th year as it wound from 37th Street and Sixth Avenue to 52nd Street.

Thousands of revelers decked in the nation’s red, white and blue packed the route, waving flags and cheering as the event kicked off at noon. The 15-block route was spotted with floats, costumed characters and dancers as music raged from speaker-laden trucks.

“Everything was nice. I come every year,” said Roulin Perdomo, 25, aka DJ Perverso. “I enjoyed the music and seeing all the people. The only thing I didn’t like is that it was too short.”
