Westhampton Beach Won't Merge Village, Town Police Departments


The Westhampton Beach Village Hall, shown is located on Mill Road, at the north side of the Six Corners.

Westhampton Beach Village will not merge its tiny police force with the Southampton Town Police Department, the village's mayor said .

Mayor Maria Moore said in a written statement that, after considering an offer by the town, the village board decided the larger department would not be able "to provide services at the level to which village residents are accustomed."

You mean they won't walk their dogs?

Worse...

and this is not intended to be a slight to those on Village jobs.

This is solely my personal experience !!!

Many moons ago, I had an interview with the Oyster Bay Cove Police Commissioner in his house.  I was already on the big job and on the top of the frozen Nassau list.

This interview was on a Friday for a Monday hire date.

He asked me a hypothetical question about the son of a resident being found in possession of a small amount of narcotics, "what would I do?", he asked.

I politely answered that his question alone had convinced me to decline his job offer.

On the "big job", I had been to the pier for barrier detail and had seen PO Eddie Byrne's blood inside his RMP, which was stored there.

Eddie Byrne's father had been a retired NYPD Lt. like mine.

I will ALWAYS have ZERO tolerance for drugs.   

Two years later, I was hired by Nassau.

Amen to that.
