CANTON – A new police officer has joined the Canton Police Department.

The probationary appointment of Colin Carroll was approved by the village board at its monthly meeting on Wednesday night.

Carroll attended Canton Central Schools and has been an active volunteer firefighter in the Canton Fire Department.

“Colin interviewed well and we are excited to invite him into the fold at the Canton Police Department,” stated Police Chief James Santimaw. 

Carroll’s first day on patrol will be Aug. 1 and his starting salary will be $54,237.

 He will be attending the Police Academy at SUNY Potsdam beginning Aug. 14. Carroll is filling the vacancy created by Joseph Mastro who left the department on April 7 for the New York State Police Academy.

“I am really impressed with Colin. He is very community oriented and is a team player,” said Trustee Beth Larrabee, who was on the interview team.
