The Southampton Village Board is expected to select its next police chief after an executive session Thursday and possibly swear him in on Friday, according to Mayor Mark Epley.
Mr. Epley, who is the village police commissioner, and the four village trustees have not divulged whom they plan to appoint to fill the vacancy created when former Chief William Wilson Jr. left last month to become chief of the Southampton Town Police Department.
The three finalists are Captain Thomas Cummings, longtime second-in-command, who is currently heading the department; Detective Sergeant Herman Lamison, commanding officer of criminal investigations; and Sergeant David Dorchak, president of the Village Police Benevolent Association.

And one other comparison, a choice between an individual who stands on his achievements ...more and one who is the bosom buddy of the mayor (and his former roomie.)
This being the Hamptons, whom do you think will be appointed? (Hint: See Southampton TOWN police chief appointment.)
A "shoo in" was originally a horse expected to win a race because the race was fixed, not by virtue of its speed or endurance.
The race is over except for the swearing in celebration.
I wonder what "Rewaards/promotions" are in the works at taxpayer expense for the Lt. and the other two (2) Sergeants with the highest scores on the prior civil service Lt list? They were eliminated first (not even considered by the "outside expert") ...more and the one with the lowest score went to round 2 along with the Det. Sgt. who was not on that list at all.
Next step is discourage them from taking the new Chief test or decline an offer for the job (or retirement with a threat of departmental charges and termination with no pension) to overcome the civil service law that appointment must be from one of the highest three.
Remember to vote next Friday, 9 AM to 9 PM!
