Genius Kevin Timoney Tells Piermont Police How To Do Their Job.

I am certain that this particular Kevin Timoney “answer” at the October 9, 2025 Piermont mayoral debate will win Timoney countless admirers - not only at the Piermont Police Department in Piermont Village Hall, but also with law enforcement agencies all over Rockland County, New York and beyond.
 
Probably one of the dumbest things that Kevin Timoney could do on the mayoral campaign trail is insult the Piermont Police Chief and the Piermont Police force. Yet that’s exactly what Kevin Timoney did, by stating that his way to improve things in Piermont would be to “get them [the Piermont Police] more in a presence”[sic], because “you don’t actually see them when you’re eating”.
 
Hmmm…
 
Maybe Kevin Timoney thinks that we should just invite the cops into the restaurant, sit at the table, break bread, and have a few drinks with us, and then make them pick up the check as a sure-fire way to save taxpayer revenue.
 
I’m not kidding you about the quotations. What is perhaps Kevin Timoney’s most moronic answer of the October 9 Piermont mayoral debate, follows here:
 
DORIA HILLSMAN
… [W]hat are the elements that affect the quality of life for residents of a tourist destination?
 
KEVIN TIMONEY
… [H]aving the police presence for these crowded restaurants or whatnot, I think if people see the police out there walking about, riding on a bike, it deters them from… speeding or from acting recklessly walking around. So I think… having more of a police presence while they’re around there, not just driving around in a cop car but actually being physically outside and sh…[unintelligible] w…[unintelligible]… walking the beat… um[sic]… I think would help Piermont with our elements[sic].
 
DORIA HILLSMAN
Do you feel that the police presence, as it is now, is… adequate, or…?
 
KEVIN TIMONEY
No, it’s great. But I think… to do a creative way[sic] and to get them more in a presence[sic], so… you know… when they’re out and about and you see the car, but you don’t actually see them when you’re eating, I think people would see them actually walk around[sic]. I think it would help them[sic].
