The village of Cornwall-on-Hudson is getting a new police sergeant who has been working right down the street in the town of Cornwall.

Sgt. Steven Dixon’s hiring as a parttime sergeant was approved by the village board on Monday, the same day the town agreed to a retirement package for him and another town police officer.

Sgt. Dixon said Wednesday that he’s looking forward to working in the village. “I want to get involved with the community,” Dixon said. “I like that kind of policing.

He also said that he would be sad leaving the town police department, where he has been working for ten years. Prior to that, he was an officer in the Tarrytown police department.

The sergeant position in the village has been vacant since the retirement of Sgt. Park a couple of years ago.   Mayor Brendan Coyne said that the village is continuing its search for a police chief to replace Chief Paul Weber, who left in May.

Couldn't have happend to a finer gentleman.
As a Town resident I would not presume to offer advice to the Village Board, but if I were a village resident I would suggest they end their search for a chief right there.

I agree with Joe Ward. I had the pleasure of working with Sgt Dixon over the past ten years for the Town of Cornwall Police Department. He is the right guy to lead the village police Department. While I'm sad to see him leave the Town Police Force I'm glad to be able to still work with him right down the street. Good luck to you Steve with your new job.

I too mirror the comments made by Joe Ward and Steve Bedetti. Having worked for the Town as well as the Village, I had the pleasure of dealing with Sgt. Dixon on a regular basis. Steve will be a true assett to the Village force, and hopefully will be given the opportunity to serve as their next Chief of Police... Congratulations to the Cornwall on Hudson PD and residents, you have gained a true gentleman!!!
