Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr. congratulated Kevin Catalina on his nomination as Commissioner of the Suffolk County Police Department. 

Catalina served at both the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office prior to his service with the Suffolk County Police Department. 

 "I have had the privilege of working alongside Kevin Catalina for many years, starting over a decade ago when we collaborated as counterparts in NYC law enforcement with the NYCDOC and NYPD. As an Undersheriff, Kevin proved to be an exceptional leader, and I have no doubt he will continue to excel in his new role as the leader of the Suffolk County Police Department.  We have already seen that his extensive experience in policing, corrections intelligence and his strong relationship with the Sheriff’s Office have greatly enhanced law enforcement collaboration over the past year, making our communities safer than ever. This nomination marks a well-deserved milestone in Kevin’s distinguished career, which has been defined by years of leadership and service in law enforcement. I wholeheartedly congratulate him on this new chapter, and I look forward to continuing our work together in this capacity," said Toulon.

 Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr. worked with Catalina in their respective roles at the New York City Department of Corrections and NYPD.  

Catalina was appointed as an undersheriff by Sheriff Toulon in 2018 and oversaw the Sheriff's Office policing division as well as other ancillary units. 

Catalina was also instrumental in expanding the Sheriff’s Office’s roles in numerous law enforcement task forces, including the Gilgo Beach Homicide Task Force, as well as utilizing corrections intelligence to help partner agencies solve and prevent crimes. 

He left his role as undersheriff in 2024 to become Deputy Police Commissioner for the Suffolk County Police Department.
