One career wasn’t enough.

After completing a full career with the Warwick Police Department , Officer Dave Imbriglio wasn’t ready to call it quits. Instead, he chose to continue doing what he loved and joined the East Greenwich Police Department in 2009. Lucky for us, that decision gave our department nearly 18 more years of dedicated service.

During his time with EGPD, Dave served on 3rd, 2nd, and 1st shift patrol, always bringing the same professionalism, experience, and a steady presence to every call for service. He became our lead Field Training Officer, mentoring countless new officers and helping shape the future of this department with his knowledge, patience, and leadership.

Shortly after joining EGPD, he was elected to the IBPO Local #472 Executive Board and later served as Union President, tirelessly advocating for his fellow officers while remaining an active and respected member of the East Greenwich community.

The true measure of a career isn’t just the years served—it’s the people you’ve influenced and the legacy you leave behind. Dave’s impact will be felt for years to come through the officers he trained, the colleagues he supported, and the friendships he built along the way.

From everyone at the East Greenwich Police Department, thank you for your unwavering dedication, leadership, and friendship. You have left this department better than you found it, and for that we are incredibly grateful.

Please join us in congratulating Officer Dave Imbriglio on his well-earned retirement and wishing him many years of good health, happiness, and relaxation. Congratulations, Dave, you’ve more than earned it! 👏🚔💙

🇺🇸🚨 PATCH DROP 🚨🇺🇸

You probably don’t need another patch… but this one has General Varnum, East Greenwich history, and 250 years of bragging rights.

The East Greenwich 250th Anniversary commemorative patch is for sale and they’re going for just $25 each.

Stick it on a patch board. Frame it. Put it somewhere your guests can ask:
“Wait… where did you get THAT?”

⚠️ Side effects may include excessive local pride, unsolicited East Greenwich history lessons, and casually reminding people that your town helped do America before America was cool.

🎖️ Limited edition
🇺🇸 Collector item
💵 $25 each

Come by the East Greenwich Police Department and grab yours before they mysteriously become impossible to find and people start saying,
“I should’ve bought one.”

And while you’re heading over… swing past the East Greenwich Firefighters Association IAFF L 3328 - TM on Main Street, tell them to put the sausage tongs down for five minutes and come buy one too. 🌭🚒😂

Tag someone who needs one.
Tag someone who definitely doesn’t need one.
Tag someone who still thinks the Town of East Greenwich RI was founded in 1977.
