A pair of Riverhead Town police officers were promoted to the rank of sergeant at Tuesday’s Town Board meeting.
The promotions of Det. Patrick McDermott and officer Anthony Montalbano, which went into effect Wednesday, fill two current vacancies.
The Town Board unanimously approved the resolution for the promotion and the board members each wished the new sergeants good luck.
Councilman Tim Hubbard said police chief David Hegermiller would have “to look far and wide to find two finer officers to promote to sergeant.”
