Chief Crowe started at the Hornell Police Department in 1972 as a patrolman. He worked his way through the ranks as Investigator, Sergeant and Captain. In 1997 Paul was promoted to Chief of Police. After 34 years of dedicated service, bringing the Hornell Police Department to the Professional Department it is today, Chief Crowe has decided to "pull the pin" effective March 31, 2007. He will be truly missed by all the members of the Police Department.
