Suffern names Andrew York detective sergeant
Summary
The Board promoted Sgt. Andrew York to detective sergeant, citing his decade of service, role in major investigations and work with the Rockland County Intelligence Center.
The Village of Suffern Board of Trustees on May 17 approved the promotion of Sergeant Andrew York to detective sergeant after the police chief summarized his investigative record.
Chief Lachlan said York "has served with the Suffern Police Department for over 10 years" and that he "was instrumental to the successful conclusion of a number of significant cases ranging from burglaries to serious assaults." The chief also noted York's assignment to the Rockland County Intelligence Center since 2017 and his prior service with the New York City Police Department.
Mayor Curley said York had been "diligent in doing his job" during Curley's three-and-a-half years as mayor and expressed confidence that York would lead the detective bureau effectively. Trustee Corrigan moved for the promotion; Trustee Alpert seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.
The transcript records York's professional background and education, including a bachelor's degree in criminology and investigations from West Virginia University, and his top-10% standing at the New York City Police Academy as described by the chief. The record does not cite a specific personnel ordinance or give other implementation details beyond the promotion vote.
