Greenwich Police Officer Dennis Feery was named Officer of the Month for his work investigating two domestic violence cases, the department announced.
Feery received the honor "in recognition of his exceptional police work, investigative diligence, and commitment to public safety," according to a Greenwich Police Department (GPD) announcement first reported by Patch.
In the first case, a suspect allegedly tried to enter a home while armed with a dangerous instrument. The suspect fled before police arrived. Feery investigated, gathered enough evidence to obtain a fully extraditable arrest warrant, and the suspect was later apprehended in another jurisdiction, according to the department.
The GPD said Feery recognized the seriousness of the incident and conducted a thorough investigation despite the suspect's absence.
In a separate incident, Feery spotted a person wanted in connection with a domestic violence offense at a local gas station while on routine patrol. He pulled the individual over and made the arrest during a motor vehicle stop.
Feery joined the GPD in 2016.
The department said his work reflects the high standards of service upheld by the Greenwich Police Department.
The GPD investigates roughly 200 reported domestic violence incidents each year, according to the Greenwich Sentinel. Domestic violence is the most reported violent crime in Greenwich, according to a proclamation by First Selectman Fred Camillo designating October 2026 as Domestic Violence Awareness and Prevention Month.
The YWCA Greenwich Domestic Abuse Services, the only agency in town designated by the state to serve domestic abuse victims, responded to more than 3,600 hotline calls in 2025, according to the proclamation.
Residents who witness or experience domestic violence can contact the Greenwich Police Department or the YWCA Greenwich Domestic Abuse Services hotline.
