Westbury resident Mary Jane Griffin was recently awarded a citation from Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano and Acting Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter, for her 50-year career as a civilian employee of the Nassau County Police Department.
Commissioner Thomas Krumpter.
“I would like to congratulate Mary Jane Griffin for celebrating 50 years of service as an employee of the Nassau County Police Department,” said Mangano. “The work that the civilian employees of the Nassau County Police Department do is crucial to helping to run the department. With her standards of integrity, respect, excellence, accountability, hard work and dedication, Mary Jane Griffin has proven to be an invaluable member of our Nassau County family.”
Griffin began her career in 1965 at Police Headquarters—which at the time was the only location that female civil servants in the Police Department were permitted to work. In 1967 she was able to move to the 7th precinct. She worked there until 1980 when she moved to the 8th precinct, where she stayed until retiring from working full-time in 2000. In 2004, she returned as a part-time employee to the 2nd precinct, where she remains today.
