“Thomas G. DeMarchi entered eternal rest in the loving arms of Rosary Hill Home in Hawthorne, NY on the evening of Sunday, October 13th. Tom was born in Brooklyn on July 5, 1952. He moved to Mahopac, NY in 1969 where he would soon graduate from Mahopac High School. He attended a few years of college at Lowell Technical Institute in Massachusetts where he learned how to cook under their great chefs by working in the kitchen. He left college in 1972 to pursue a career as a police officer for the town of Carmel. Those twenty-three years spent serving and protecting citizens were his most prideful, but that wasn’t all he did. He also served as a Carmel Fire Department Commissioner for a few years and on the Carmel Ambulance Corporation. He was a member of the Carmel Police Benevolent Association, the Fraternal Order of Police - Stephen Driscoll Lodge, and the Knights of Columbus.

Boom! Today’s edition of #K9Friday is extra special! At the awards ceremony this week, all seven of the Department’s K9s received their official badges. Hannah, Char and Flash represented but also pawed up for their brothers Sentinel, Kato, Lex and Satch. Funding for these @smithwarrenbadges was made available through seized assets and were at no cost to the taxpayer. But to see the #K9unit properly attired is priceless! #putnamsheriffNY #putnamcountyNY #policedog #workingdog #sheriffK9

For this week’s #throwbackthursday photo, we feature Deputy Sheriff Michael J. Ball. Michael Ball was probably one of the most proud and professional members of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department. Having previously served on the Village of Cold Spring Police Department, like so many of us, Mike became a deputy sheriff and then investigator. Mike loved the job, the reputation of the Department and it showed. Whether it be in his personal appearance or the meticulous way he approached his duties, Mike always gave 100%. From crime scene to courtroom, Mike performed his duties the same way, consistently and professionally every time. With the help of those who came before him, Mike helped bring the Identification Bureau to a new level. Investigator Ball enjoyed a reputation in the law enforcement community as a highly trained and experienced professional, his integrity was and is without question. Mike worked numerous high profile investigations and his expertise was called upon once again during the recovery efforts at Ground Zero immediately following the terrorist attacks on America. Investigator Ball is unquestionably one of the many law enforcement professionals that have passed through our doors, that have helped us get to where we are today. In the black and white photo, Dep. Ball chats with Putnam County Legislator Mike Semo, following a ride-a-long. Thank you for your service and your contribution. #putnamsheriffNY #putnamcountyNY

Last night, the Administrative Staff of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department attended the Legislative Protective Service Committee Meeting where they discussed their Operating Budget for 2020. The tentative 2020 Budget presented by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department reflected a decrease from the 2019 budget while maintaining safety and security for our community. #putnamsheriffNY #putnamcountyNY #teamwork #putnamsafeputnamstrong
