New Deputy Chief Named

This week the village board passed an ordinance reorganizing the Police Department. Basically what was done was rewriting an ordinance that had not been reviewed in 20 years. Chief Metaxa recognized the need for a flatter more effective organizational command structure and is slowly but surely implementing it.

After the passage of the ordinance, Chief Metaxa acted to appoint officer Francis Foy to be Deputy Chief of the Police Department. Francis has been with the department for a few years now and is probaly best known to residents as our canine officer with "Sniper" as his partner.

I am quite pleased that Francis has moved into this essential command position because his enthusiasm for the road will allow us to move forward with the modernization of our Police Force. So congratulations are in order when you see Deputy Chief Francis Foy!
