Southold Town hires four new officers, promotes pair to sergeant
Four new officers are joining the Southold Town police force.
At a meeting Tuesday, the Town Board appointed Patrick Anderson, Fiona Faherty, Ryan Flatley - whose father is Police Chief Martin Flatley - and Kyle Krause as new probationary officers at a starting salary of $51,607.
They will each be placed on an immediate, unpaid leave of absence until the next scheduled police officer training begins at the Suffolk County Police Academy and, upon graduation, will become active probationary officers if they meet the requirements for employment, according to a resolution adopted unanimously by the board.

When the Riverhead Town Board hired 10 new police officers last Tuesday, it was responding to one of the highest number of retirements in recent memory, according to Police Chief David Hegermiller.
The chief added that he expects at least one more retirement soon.
But the new hires won’t immediately fill the void left by departing retirees because only four of them can start work right away.
Those four include three part-time officers and one officer currently with the New York City Police Department.

FORT WORTH, Texas An Iraq War veteran who lost both his legs in a roadside bombing in 2007 became a Fort Worth police officer Friday.
Zach Briseno, who now stands tall with prosthetic legs, was among 24 graduates of Class 148 after he passed every rigorous physical test that other recruits were required to complete.
“I’ve wanted to be a police officer since I was a kid,” he said.
Briseno wanted to be a U.S. Marine, too, so he did that first, NBCDFW reported.
While serving his second tour in Iraq, in 2007, his Humvee hit a roadside bomb.
