I am honored to accept the position as the next Police Chief for the Old Brookville Police Department. I appreciate the trust placed in me and am eager to begin this important role. As a law enforcement professional for the past 21 years and a nearby resident, I understand and appreciate the importance of public safety to our community and will do everything in my power to ensure you continue to receive the best possible police service.

After 35 years with the Old Brookville Police Department, I will be retiring effective September 30, 2024. To say I grew up with this department is an understatement. I interviewed for a position with Old Brookville PD at 20 years old and entered the academy shortly after turning 21. Over the years, I was promoted to Sergeant in 1999, Lieutenant in 2013, and Chief of Police in 2019. I have witnessed this department undergo many changes, including expanding to a seven-village jurisdiction and more recently, downsizing to patrol just the Village of Old Brookville. Despite these changes, our mission has remained the same: to serve the public with integrity and professionalism.

Upon my retirement, Sergeant Michael Coen will assume the role of Chief of Police. Mike joined the Old Brookville Police Department in 2010 after serving with the NYPD and has been my Deputy Commanding Officer for over a year. I have full confidence in his ability to lead this department forward and maintain the high standards that the Village deserves from its police department.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the mayor, the board of trustees, and the Village residents for the unwavering support you have shown me and the department throughout my career. Your support has been instrumental in our success. I will always cherish the many friendships I have formed and the invaluable experience I have gained during my time with this outstanding organization.

On June 1, 2022, the Old Brookville Police Department (OBPD) has become a single-village police department and is patrolling Old Brookville exclusively. Our new headquarters are located next to Village Hall at 201 McCouns Lane. The department consists of a chief, six patrol sergeants, seven police officers and one clerk. The experience level of our OBPD officers ranges from five to 32 years with this department, with several members having had previous law enforcement experience as well. Minimal staffing will be a sergeant and an officer on patrol 24/7.

Our new general non-emergency phone number is (516) 626-1302. The old number was phased out on May 31, 2022. The new phone number at our headquarters has extensions for the tour supervisor, officer on duty and our department clerk, Jackie. All emergency calls that require a police response will go through Nassau County Police Department’s (NCPD) 911 dispatch. Our clerk has notified all alarm companies in our database about the change from the OBPD’s specific dispatch to the NCPD. We are asking that all residents update their alarm companies as well. The NCPD alarm line is (516) 742-7464.

Even calls that you may not consider an emergency, such as parking conditions, erratic drivers, Village ordinance violations etc., should be made to 911 and they will dispatch the OBPD. General non-emergency calls, such as parking permits, alarm permits and questions, and vacant premise notifications can be made to (516) 626-1302. In addition, our Web developer will be adding requests for parking permits, alarm applications and vacant notifications under the Forms section of the Village website.
