Bronxville appoints police lieutenant and new officer as force remains under target
Summary
Trustees appointed Michael Lewis as police lieutenant and Giovanni Leo as a police officer (pending county HR approval). Officials said hiring Leo will raise the force from 21 to 22 officers while the target staffing level remains 26 after recent retirements.
The board approved two personnel resolutions: the appointment of Michael Lewis to lieutenant and the appointment of Giovanni Leo as a police officer, subject to Westchester County human-resources approval. Trustees said the department has been operating with a thinner roster after recent retirements and that the additions improve supervisory and patrol capacity.
A trustee reported the department currently has 21 sworn officers and that bringing Officer Leo aboard will raise the total to 22; trustees acknowledged the department remains below a stated 26-officer target and described recruitment and retention as ongoing challenges. The motions to appoint Lewis and Leo passed by voice vote.
