ONEONTA – Police Chief Dennis Nayor, who has served as City of Oneonta Police Chief since 2012,  has accepted a position of Director of Research, Development, and Training with the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police.

Chief Nayor began his career as a Patrol Officer on September 27, 1995. Since that time, he has served as DARE Officer, Sergeant, Interim Detective Sergeant, and Lieutenant.

He was promoted to Chief of Police on April 29, 2012. Under his leadership, the department received New York State accreditation, meeting 133 rigorous standards for best practices in policing. Less than 8% of New York State police departments of comparable size have earned this accreditation.

“Although moving on will be extremely bittersweet, I can do so with confidence in knowing that I will be leaving the Department in the hands of an extremely well qualified and capable staff of supervisors, officers, dispatchers, and support personnel,” said Nayor. “I can also move forward with confidence because I know that the community will continue to be protected and well served by a highly trained and fully accredited police agency composed of men and women who possess a strong community-policing mindset that is needed for success”.

He will continue to serve as Chief of Police through mid-January, 2017.
