The tradition of public service that comes from being in law enforcement can be passed down to younger generations in some police families, and that tradition is stronger than ever in the South Shore.
Suffolk County Police Acting Commissioner Robert Waring and Deputy Commissioner Belinda Groneman recently hosted a shield change ceremony during which members of the department received SCPD shield numbers from family members who are active or retired from the police department.
Sergeant Kevin Muller, Police Officers Brian Cameron, Liam Bailey, David Brady, Timothy Dillon, James Faughnan, Jack Gonzalez, Timothy Hess, and Anthony Terry received their father's shield number. Police Officers Nicole Pesale, James Sarno and Daniel Vazac
received their grandfather's shield number.
