Greenwich Police Officer Honored For Investigations Of Domestic Violence Incidents

GREENWICH, CT — A Greenwich police officer was recognized by the department last week for his recent investigative work into two domestic violence incidents.

Officer Dennis Feery received Officer of the Month honors "in recognition of his exceptional police work, investigative diligence, and commitment to public safety," according to an announcement from the Greenwich Police Department.

The GPD said Feery "demonstrated outstanding initiative" while responding to a reported domestic violence incident involving someone who tried to enter a home while armed with a dangerous instrument.

"Although the suspect fled prior to police arrival, Officer Feery conducted a thorough investigation, recognized the seriousness of the incident, and developed sufficient evidence to obtain a fully extraditable arrest warrant," police added. "The individual was subsequently apprehended in another jurisdiction."

In a separate incident, Feery recognized a wanted individual at a local gas station while on routine patrol. Police said the person was wanted in connection with a domestic violence offense and was ultimately taken into custody by Feery during a motor vehicle stop.

"Officer Feery's professionalism, sound judgment, and dedication to his responsibilities reflect the high standards of service upheld by the Greenwich Police Department," police added.

Feery joined the GPD in 2016.
