A message from Chief David J. Hegermiller
As we move into the 21st Century and a new era in policing, we face many difficult challenges that did not concern us a short time ago. As we move ahead, it is our wish that we move ahead together, one community, bound together by history, neighborhoods, common concerns, and the desire to keep Riverhead a great place to live and work. As Riverhead expands, we want the Police Department to remain as a pinnacle in service, efficiency, training, technology, and professionalism without losing our small town ambiance. However, we cannot do this alone. The only way we can be responsive to our community is through your input. We, therefore, urge everyone to be ever vigilant and to call the Police Department when the need arises. If you don't tell us we may never know. Sometimes the smallest piece of information is of crucial importance. So it is our request that we all stay together and connect as we create a professional, progressive, and responsive Police Department that everyone in the Town of Riverhead will respect, trust, and be proud of.
