Acting State Police Superintendent Follows His Boss into Retirement
Tuesday, March 09, 2010
New York, NY –
A week after his boss left the New York State Police amid the controversy surrounding Gov. David Paterson's top law enforcement personnel, the acting superintendent says he's retiring too.
First Deputy Superintendent Pedro Perez is stepping down after 28 years, following Superintendent Harry Corbitt out the door.
He says his departure has nothing to do with the attorney general's investigation into whether troopers and Paterson contacted a woman who had accused one of the governor's aides of domestic violence.
Police Field Commander John Melville will take over as acting superintendent on Friday.
