Police Officer Andrew Graffagnino has been selected as Shelter Island’s Officer of the Year for 2020.
The announcement was made Tuesday by Police Chief Jim Read, who said that Officer Graffagnino’s performance should be the “standard of policing” as he “handles every assignment and call with a courteous and exceptionally positive attitude.”
Officer Graffagnino was selected after input from fellow officers and a review of departmental records and calls. He has consistently excelled over many years in arrest and vehicle and traffic enforcement, the chief said.
The officer was involved in a “noteworthy life-saving call,” when in the early morning hours of Sept. 12, 2020, he and Officer David McGayhey responded to a call of a newborn experiencing severe difficulty breathing.
