Robert S. Faust (R) - Dutchess County Government

Following high school graduation, Rob started working at the Indian Point Entergy Center. He rose to the level of Senior A Mechanic, but the desire to be a police officer never left him.

Rob entered the Police Academy while working at Indian Point. In 1999 he achieved his goal and became a police officer. For the next 7 years, he worked part time as a Town of Fishkill Police Officer and full time as a nuclear mechanic.

Eventually, Rob left Entergy to pursue a career in law enforcement full time with the Town of Poughkeepsie. It was a decision he would never regret.

Rob enjoyed all aspects of police work, but found his specialty was traffic enforcement. In 2009, he transferred to the Westchester County Police Department and thrived in their Patrol Services Division, maintaining public safety on their numerous parkways.

He received the Commendable Duty Award twice, in 2011 and in 2014.

When Rob retired after 23 years of police work he knew that he wanted to continue serving and giving back to the community.

Robert Faust retired after 23 years of police work. He previously worked in law enforcement with the Westchester County Police Department, the Town of Poughkeepsie and the Town of Fishkill Police, and as a nuclear mechanic at Indian Point Entergy Center.
