Greenwich Police Deputy Chief Kraig Gray Retires after 32 Years of Service

Throughout his tenure, Deputy Chief Gray has influenced many policies and programs, and one would be hard-pressed to find an operational policy or training program that he hasn’t influenced. The Department’s officers and civilian staff extended well wishes to DC Gray on his retirement after an excellent career serving the community.

Deputy Chief  Gray joined Greenwich Police in 1992 after serving active duty in the U.S. Army. Still, he continued in the Army Reserve and retired as a First Sergeant in 2007.

In a statement from the department described Gray as strongly principled person who would “lead by example and add value to an already great organization.”

Gray rose through the ranks to become commander of the Patrol and Detective Divisions.  At one time, he even served as GPD’s Public Information Officer.

When he was named Deputy Chief in 2021, he assumed responsibility for the Department’s Administrative Services Division and was in charge of the Town of Greenwich Parking Services Department.

Deputy Chief Gray was also one of the founding members of the Greenwich Police Honor Guard. Some of his accomplishments include spearheading and instituting the Department’s Officer Development Program, which improved the preparedness, performance, and success of Department employees. He also overhauled the Department’s records management system and Freedom of Information Act procedures.

“Kraig’s institutional knowledge, professionalism, and calming demeanor enabled him to excel in many different assignments, and the transitions were always quick and easy,” commented Police Chief James Heavey.  “As he transitions to retirement, the Department and Town as a whole thank him for his unwavering dedication, years of service, and a job well done.”

First Selectman Camillo named Thursday Aug 29th, “Deputy Chief Kraig W. Gray Day.”
