The Village of Saltaire is pleased to announce that after a long search it has hired Dennis Foley as its new Chief of Security. Dennis comes to Saltaire after a long and well-rounded career in law enforcement and security operations, which we believe makes Dennis a very good fit for the needs of the Village.

A native of Long Island, Dennis spent four years in the US Army and, after being honorably discharged in 1972, joined the Prince Georges County (Maryland) Police Department. He spent 8 years with the PGCPD where he started as a uniformed police officer and eventually moved into special assignments, including investigation of crimes against property and persons. The call of home brought Dennis back to New York in 1980, where he spent over 25 years in the private security industry, primarily as a manager and supervisor. He was responsible for developing, providing and operating security systems for numerous and varied venues, including major airports, commercial properties, important utility facilities, as well as for private residential communities. He was responsible for the recruitment, training and oversight of staff for these locations, which often totaled 500 guards or more.

The Village feels that Dennis’s extensive experience in law enforcement and security operations, combined with his friendly, confident and calm personality, are an ideal combination for the leadership position of the Saltaire Security Department.
