Chief Martin Flatley
Town of Southold Police Department

As of Wednesday, November 1, 2023 the New York State Police suspended their law enforcement coverage of Fishers Island. The Southold Town Police Department has assumed law enforcement duties on Fishers Island and will be working toward a seamless transition for Island residents. Final arrangements are being made for our department’s temporary office space at the Fishers Island Community Center until a more permanent solution is implemented. We look forward to establishing a working relationship with all Fishers Island residents as well as the Fishers Island School District.
