Bronxville Police Department Welcomes Two New Officers, Promotes Others
Nov. 6, 2013: Families and friends filled the trustees room at Bronxville Village Hall on Monday evening, November 4, as six Bronxville Police Department officers were sworn in by trustee Anne W. Poorman, who was assisted by Lt. Richard Bunyan of the department, who represented Chief Christopher Satriale.
Two newly hired officers, two officers assuming detective duties, and two officers promoted to the rank of sergeant recited the oath and received their shields at the board of trustees meeting.
"This is the most exciting meeting of the year for me," said Poorman. "Being liaison to the police department is the best job to have."
New officer Cheryl Jarosz, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, began her law enforcement career in 2006 with the Mount Vernon Police Department and joined the Bronxville Police Department in April of 2013. She enjoys working on her home, which includes carpentry work. She is married to a retired Mount Vernon detective and has two children.
Officer Jason Kaiser was appointed to the Bronxville Police Department in February of 2013. He attended Orange Community College and SUNY New Paltz. He previously served in the Highland Falls (NY) Police Department. An avid runner, he also enjoys bicycling and weight training. Kaiser was recently married.
Veteran Bronxville officers William Carroll and Dennis Karaman were sworn in and received their detective badges.
Carroll began his career with the New York City Police Department in 2003 and came to the Bronxville department in 2007. He received his assignment as a detective in June of this year. Detective Carroll graduated from SUNY Cortland with a degree in education. He has taught various programs to students at The Bronxville School. He is married and has two children.
Detective Karaman came to the Bronxville Police Department in 2003 with seven years of experience in the Mount Vernon Police Department. A veteran of the United States Navy, his assignment as a detective became effective on November 6. Karaman and his wife have four children.
Promoted to the rank of sergeant were Officers Nicholas DeYoung and Erik Van Der Leeuw.
Both DeYoung and Van Der Leeuw began their law enforcement careers with the New York City Police Department in 2004. DeYoung was appointed to the Bronxville Police Department in 2007 and Van Der Leeuw in 2008.
Sergeant DeYoung, a member of the joint emergency response team, is a certified fingerprint examiner and one of the department's firearms instructors. Sergeant Van Der Leeuw, a graduate of Iona College with a degree in public relations, is a "competitive bagpiper" who volunteers to lead the Bronxville Police Department unit in the annual Memorial Day Parade.
In congratulating the newly hired and promoted officers, Mayor Mary Marvin noted, "We all agree that we have the best police force anywhere. It's a nice night to thank you and say 'welcome.'"

Government & History Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
