New Officers Join Glen Cove Police Department

Two new officers were recently welcomed to the Glen Cove Police Department following a unanimous vote by Mayor Reggie Spinello and the Glen Cove City Council.

Eric Caruso and Kevin Telese will be joining the force in June.

The two Glen Cove natives are graduates of Glen Cove High School and New York universities. They received accolades from the Mayor and City Council members, many of whom have known these men and their families since childhood.

“We are pleased to be in a situation to hire two of Glen Cove’s very own whose skills, professional work experience and talents will be an asset to our police department,” Chief William Whitton said upon presenting Glen Cove Police Department badges to Caruso and Telese.

The two positions became available after James McDonnell and Angelo Telese announced their retirement. They both will retire at the end of May.
