Police Department expands and promotes

In a momentous event held at the Village Hall, the Freeport Police Department proudly announced the hiring of new officers and the promotion of several deserving individuals within the department. The ceremony, which took place last week, marked a significant milestone in the department’s continuous efforts to strengthen community safety and enhance law enforcement capabilities.

Five highly skilled and experienced individuals were officially welcomed as the newest members of the Freeport Police Department. Police Officers Gregory Foster, Matthew Ingenito, Daniel Scott, Nicholas Piarulli, and Daniel Loonie have joined the force, bringing with them a wealth of prior law enforcement expertise that is set to greatly benefit the department. Each officer’s extensive background will undoubtedly contribute to the overall effectiveness of the department’s operations.

With the addition of these exceptional individuals, the Freeport Police Department now boasts a record-breaking total of 105 police officers. This remarkable increase signifies the growth under the leadership of Freeport Mayor Kennedy. Prior to Mayor Kennedy’s tenure, the department operated with 72 officers actively serving the community.

In addition to the recruitment of new officers, the Freeport Police Department also celebrated the promotion of three dedicated individuals within its ranks. Lieutenant Andrew Berg, Sergeant Nicholas Giovanniello, and Sergeant Matthew Seridge were recognized for their exemplary service and elevated to higher positions within the department. Their valuable experience and expertise are expected to enhance the quality of police work and further contribute to the safety and security of Freeport.

With crime rates significantly reduced under Mayor Kennedy’s administration, the addition of these capable officers is poised to continue the positive trend and ensure the ongoing protection of the community.

The Freeport Police Department extends its congratulations to all the newly hired officers and the recently promoted personnel. They represent the department’s unwavering commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment for the residents of Freeport.
