Riverhead Town Supervisor Tim Hubbard will host a series of three public engagement sessions to provide residents the opportunity to meet the town’s new Chief of Police Ed Frost in an informal, conversational setting.
The three “Meet the New Chief” sessions will give residents the chance to ask questions, share concerns and offer ideas to the new chief, who started in his new role on Sept. 1, according to an announcement by the supervisor’s office.
After a brief introduction, each session will be open for residents’ comments and questions, the announcement said.
The meet-the-chief sessions are scheduled to take place:
| Saturday, Sept. 7 | 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. | Riverhead Senior Center 60 Shade Tree Lane Aquebogue |
| Tuesday, Sept. 10 | 6 to 8 p.m. | Riverhead Town Hall 4 West Second St. Riverhead |
| Saturday, Sept. 14 | 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. | Riley Avenue Elementary School 374 Riley Avenue Calverton |
Frost, 54, joined the Riverhead Police Department right out of the police academy in June 1994. He was an investigator in the detective squad from July 2000 to October 2003, when he was promoted to sergeant. While a sergeant he served in various units, including in the department’s Community Oriented Policing Enforcement (COPE) unit.
Frost was appointed detective sergeant in 2015 and promoted again to lieutenant in February 2021. He has served on the board of the police brass’ union, the Riverhead Superior Officers Association, including most recently as president. He is in charge of the Juvenile Aid Bureau and runs the Riverhead Police Athletic League.
“I just want to be community based, community minded,” Frost said during his remarks at a swearing-in ceremony held Aug. 31 at Riverhead Town Hall.
