Taylor Rando has been appointed as a probationary police officer with the Shelter Island Police Department effective Tuesday.
Ms. Rando, who has been a traffic control officer, is undergoing training at the Suffolk County Police Academy. She was already among top scorers on the test necessary to establish her as a candidate for an appointment and has passed the county background check, Chief Jim Read said.
Her appointment by the Town Board at a special meeting fulfills an effort to place a woman on the currently all-male staff that the chief had suggested to the Police Reform Task Force, which filed its report with New York State at the end of March.
