At least six Southold Town Police Department employees are being questioned in an ongoing probe of the department’s response to community complaints about a sergeant’s retirement party last May, according to billing records filed with the town.
As of Feb. 23, a police sergeant, one police officer and two dispatchers had been deposed by outside counsel hired by the Town Board to conduct the investigation. Two more officers were scheduled to be deposed, according to the invoice filed by attorney Justin Block of the firm Messina, Pirillo and Hill.

So many donations were garnered that a truck had to be emptied twice a day over the weekend. (Courtesy Southold Fire Department Chief Peggy Killian.)
SOUTHOLD, NY The community opened its hearts to donate to the needy during a recent food drive hosted by the Southold Fire Department.
According to Southold Fire Department Chief Peggy Killian, 1st. Lt. of Rescue Cathy Wilinski suggested the food drive. It was an awesome idea, since fire departments are always giving of themselves to help others. Compared to putting out a fire or rescuing a person in need, we figured this would be a breeze, Killian said.
