Scott Munro was appointed to the force in 1992. First assigned to the 77 Precinct, he eventually moved from the Brooklyn North Task Force to the Brooklyn North Auto Larceny Unit. In 1995, Scott landed in the OCCB’s Auto Crime Unit, where, in 1997, he earned his gold shield. He earned Second Grade in December of 2000, and First Grade in December 2001. Among Scott’s political accomplishments is his testimony before the New York City Charter Revision Committee and the New York City Conflict of Interest Board in 2004, in order to convince the legislators to pass NYS Senate bill 6516, which they did. This bill allows for members of the service to hold other positions in New York State, such as a local Fire Commissioner or serve on a local Community Board, or hold another position of public trust. The bill was named in honor of the late Det. Second Grade Joseph Vigiano, who was killed in the line of duty on September 11, 2001. Scott also serves as a Commissioner and the Chairman of the Board of the Hauppauge Fire District, a Fire Department he’s been involved with for more than 25 years. Scott began his NYPD union involvement once elected DEA Delegate from Auto Crime in September of 2005.
