Cuba Police Department

The Cuba Police Department would like to introduce Officer Lewis Pettit to the community. Officer Pettit recently graduated from the Alfred State Police Academy. Officer Pettit will be filling 1 of 2 vacancies currently in our department. Here is a summary of his background in his own words.

First, I would like to thank Chief Burch, the members of the Town Board, and the rest of those who have allowed me to be in the position I am in. I do not take the honor of serving and protecting the community and the Town of Cuba lightly.

I grew up right next door in the Town of Bolivar. I graduated from Bolivar-Richburg in 2017 and moved to Canandaigua to attend Finger Lakes Community College. After completing an associate degree from FLCC in 2019, I moved to Alfred to attend Alfred State College. There, I chose to study Criminal Justice with the goal of a career in law enforcement. This past May, I graduated from Alfred State College with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and began the Police Academy just a week after. In August, I was hired as a patrolman and have been nothing short of excited to begin my law enforcement career here in Cuba.

Also pictured is Officer Mackney who was recognized at the graduation ceremony for his commitment and dedication to the academy and the recruits throughout each phase.
