First Selectwoman Jen Tooker has announced that she has accepted the resignation of Chief of Police Foti Koskinas, effective June 30, 2025.
First Selectwoman Tooker said, “Since 1996, the Town of Westport has been served and protected by a truly amazing human, Foti Koskinas. For the past 9 years as Chief, Foti has stood at the forefront of a myriad of changes in law enforcement, community tragedies and issues, civil unrest and increased public engagement. He has met these challenges with true leadership, the highest integrity, and an insight into community policing that is unsurpassed. Foti’s approach has always been pragmatic, honest and prioritizes communication and collaboration. He is one of “Westport’s Finest” in the truest sense of the phrase. I know Westport agrees with me. On behalf of the residents, business owners and visitors of Westport, his colleagues in Town Hall and his fellow PD and EMS first responders, I am so grateful for Foti’s leadership and genuine dedication to our community. I wish him only the best as he enters a new chapter. He will definitely be missed.”
