Feds Digging Through Former Harrison Police Chief's Records

HARRISON, NY — The U.S. Attorney's Office issued a subpoena for records pertaining to then-Police Chief Anthony Marraccini's public job and private employment right after Marraccini was suspended by the town board in September, according to The Journal News.

The chief had turned records over to the feds from his business Coastal Construction Associates in August.

The Journal News reported that the subpoena asked for Marraccini's personnel file from time sheets to financial disclosure statements and details on outside employment. The feds also wanted records of any investigation, disciplinary action, and correspondence with Marraccini and his lawyer.

TJN also reported that a review of Westchester County property records show Marraccini's purchase of four properties in Rye including one next to Playland. Their total value is $3 million.

Marraccini was chosen as chief after a long, contentious process in 2010, by a 3-2 vote of the town board, after three months as Acting Chief after Chief David Hall's resignation. His annual salary was $185,000, but he also received a $12,000 stipend since the department did not replace him as captain. He had been with the department since 1984, its captain for 13 years.

He was suspended Sept. 16 after the town board discussed an internal police matter. The subpoena was dated Sept. 20. He retired the first week in October.

Lt. Michael Olsey is acting chief.
