Association President attends NYS Police Graduation
|
|
Association President Sheriff Chris Farber and Executive Director Peter Kehoe represented New York's Sheriffs at the graduation ceremony last week of the newest class of New York State Troopers. During the pre-graduation reception they had the opportunity to talk about issues of common interest with law enforcement leaders from New York and adjoining states. Numerous changes in the State Police brass were discussed. Patty Groeber has stepped down from the position of First Deputy Superintendent, although she retains her rank of Colonel. Patty has always had a good relationship with our Association and she says she is not certain what her next assignment in the DSP will be. Chris Fiore, a 27-year veteran of the State Police, is the new First Deputy Superintendent. He previously served in K, L and T Troops; at the State Police Academy; and most recently as a Major in Emergency Management / Special Operations. Also, Colonel Steve Cumoletti, announced that he will be retiring from the Division at the beginning of the new year. The association has had a good working relationship with Colonel Cumoletti for many years.
