The East Greenbush Police Department had its modest beginnings many years ago when our community was served by constables who worked out of their homes and patrolled using their own vehicles. On May 4, 1964 the Town Board officially adopted a Resolution creating the East Greenbush Police Department under the direction of Harold Pearlman, then the only full time Constable. The Board determined that the eligible candidate for EGPD should possess the following qualifications: US Citizen, no felony convictions, able to read and write understandably in English, resident of the Town prior to appointment, between the ages of 21and 50, able to pass a physical examination and at least 5'6" tall weighing 150 pounds
