Thank you, Officer Joe Slack for your dedicated service to the residents of Amityville, and best wishes on your retirement!
This truly marks the end of an era as Amityville Police Officer Joseph Slack retires after 24 years of dedicated service to the Village of Amityville.
The Slack name has long been synonymous with service, professionalism, and commitment within our community, and especially within the Amityville Police Department. Joe proudly followed in the footsteps of his brother, retired Chief Glenn Slack, and his sister, retired Sergeant Pam Damboise, continuing a family legacy that has left an indelible mark on our Department.
Known for his quick wit and legendary sense of humor, Joe was the ultimate prankster who could always bring a smile to those around him. Beyond the jokes, he was someone who never met a stranger—always willing to strike up a conversation, lend an ear, and make everyone feel welcome. His personality, camaraderie, and genuine kindness made him the heart of our Department.
While we are excited for Joe as he begins this well-earned next chapter, his presence will be deeply missed by his brothers and sisters in blue and by all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.
Congratulations on your retirement, Joe, and thank you for 24 years of service, dedication, and laughter.
You will be truly missed. And as you would say—You know what time it is!
