EAST FISHKILL – For the last time as East Fishkill Town Police, Kevin Keefe, walked past his officers as they saluted. Keefe retired on Wednesday, after a 34-year career in law enforcement.
Keefe rose through the ranks of the East Fishkill department before being named top cop several years ago.
In his farewell to fellow officers, Keefe thanked them for their service.
“Anything you did made me look good and I hope I did the same by you. I tried to keep the public relations up and make the department as a whole look good and I want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. It has been a good ride, 34 years, I can’t complain. I don’t think I would change a day of it.”
Lt. Matthew Orsino was appointed interim police chief and it is expected the town board will approve him permanently at their July session.
As Keefe’s last official act, he keyed the microphone on his police radio and said, “10-7, out for retirement.”
