Wrap-Up:  Conversation with Chief of Police Steve Grattan

Many challenges, but far many more rewards, are all part of policing Southold Town, said Chief of Police Steve Grattan at last night’s meeting.  The chief provided a detailed overview of the department’s operations and also shared that becoming a police chief here in his hometown was like “winning the lottery” (he previously had been with NYPD).

Sgt. Bob Haase urged all to beware of fraud and identity theft scams, which they see almost daily, and to contact the police with any concerns.  He also touched on Smart911, a service that enables individuals to create a safety profile containing health and other information that they want 9-1-1 responders to have in an emergency.  Visit www.smart911.com to create your profile.

Also, check out the Police Dept’s. Facebook page (Southold Town Police Department), an excellent resource for a variety of up-to-date information.
