Miller Opens New Era as Depew Chief of Police
Miller led Depew Police Department from 2019 to 2024, starting bike patrols and upgrading technology. He expanded take home vehicles, revamped the detective bureau, added a five year fleet replacement plan, and established an OEM dispatch station to improve emergency response during severe weather. The village board supported modernization and maintained steady funding, with Mayor Kevin Peterson praising Miller for a sustainable, cooperative tenure. Miller joined the department in 1997 after eight years with New York State Corrections and held multiple ranks before becoming chief.
