• Town still contracted with LC Sheriff’s Office

The Town of Thayne now has a part-time police officer in the community, in addition to maintaining contracted services with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.
A 20-year veteran of the New York City Police Department, Muhammad Mirza, has accepted the position. While serving in New York, he was part of the mounted patrol for the department.
“Right now, he is part-time for the Town, and because of the size of the Town, we do not anticipate being able to have a full-time police officer at this time,” Mayor Devin Simpson explained. “We are thrilled to have him. He brings a lot of experience and enthusiasm.”
