55-year-old Freeport officer says final farewell after 30 years of service

Daniel Dean was born in Freeport, Long Island, where he grew up and then spent 30 years protecting the community.

Dean taught hundreds of rookie officers what textbooks cannot.

"One of the finest officers to patrol the village of Freeport," Deputy Chief Carl Hetzel said.

Dean's days with the department are over, but his legacy lives on through the next generation of young officers.
