Lieutenant Michael Morano joined the Irvington Police Department in June of 1993, after
having served over two years with the New York City Police Department. In 1999, he
became one of the first Bicycle Patrol Officers in the department and was one of the first
officers to be certified as a Child Safety Seat Technician. He is also certified as a General
Topics Instructor, Breath Analysis Operator and is a Program Manager for the
department's ongoing New York State Accreditation process.

Lieutenant Morano served several years as Vice-President of the Irvington Police
Benevolent Association and routinely volunteers his time to coordinate the community
events that are sponsored by the PBA. His enthusiasm and participation are invaluable.

Michael was promoted to Patrol Sergeant in August of 2003 and Lieutenant in June of
2007 and is presently second in command of the Department.

As Lieutenant, Michael plays a major role in day to day operations such as scheduling,
training and supervising the Patrol and Detective Divisions.

Originally from Ardsley, Michael now resides in Putnam County with his wife Susan and
Daughters Valerie, Alyssa and Samantha.
