Family, friends, fellow law enforcement officers, and community members gathered Thursday afternoon at the Spring Valley Police Department to honor Deputy Chief Jack Bosworth during a retirement walkout celebrating more than 36 years of distinguished public service, including the past 32 years with the Spring Valley Police Department.
Bosworth began his public service career in 1990 with the Rockland County Department of Probation, where he started as a Probation Assistant before advancing to the position of Probation Officer. In 1993, he joined the New Rochelle Police Department as a police officer before transferring to the Spring Valley Police Department in 1994.
During his three decades with the department, Bosworth served in numerous assignments and steadily rose through the ranks. As a police officer, he was a member of the Bicycle Patrol Unit, Domestic Violence Unit, and Crime Prevention Unit. He also served as a certified police instructor, defensive tactics instructor, and field training officer.
In 1998, Bosworth was promoted to Detective and assigned to the Juvenile Aid Bureau, where he investigated violent crimes against children. Three years later, he was promoted to Sergeant, supervising patrol squads while serving as a supervisor and commanding officer of the Spring Valley Tactical Team for more than 20 years, leading officers on numerous high-risk operations throughout the village.
Bosworth was promoted to Administrative Sergeant in 2006, taking on key responsibilities in the day-to-day administration of the department. He later graduated from the prestigious FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, as a member of Class 232, and was promoted to Lieutenant in 2008.
As a lieutenant, Bosworth spent two years assigned to the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office/FBI C-21 Joint Public Corruption Task Force, where he investigated white-collar crime, public corruption, and organized crime cases throughout Rockland County.
In 2022, the Spring Valley Board of Trustees appointed Bosworth as Deputy Chief of Police. Throughout his career, he also served on the Rockland County REACT Standards Oversight Committee. Earlier this year, he was recognized by the Rockland County PBA with its Lifetime Achievement Award for his longstanding dedication and service to law enforcement officers across the county.
In a statement to Monsey Scoop, Bosworth reflected on his career, saying, “It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve the people of Spring Valley for the past 32 years. I have had the privilege of working alongside some of the finest men and women in law enforcement, and I am incredibly proud of everything we accomplished together. I am deeply grateful to my family, my colleagues, and the community for their unwavering support throughout my career. While this chapter is coming to an end, I will always cherish the friendships, memories, and opportunity to serve this great village. Thank you to everyone who made this journey so meaningful.”
Spring Valley Police Chief Richard Oleszczuk also praised Bosworth’s remarkable career. “It’s impossible to replace such an iconic and decorated police officer as Deputy Chief Bosworth, but the SVPD is fortunate enough to have some talented officers that are looking forward to the opportunity that this creates,” Oleszczuk told Monsey Scoop.
Spring Valley Deputy Mayor Yisroel Eisenbach also commended Bosworth’s years of dedicated service. “Deputy Chief Jack Bosworth has dedicated more than three decades to protecting the residents of Spring Valley with professionalism, integrity, and unwavering commitment. His leadership and service have left a lasting impact on our police department and our entire community. On behalf of the Village of Spring Valley, I thank him for his extraordinary career and wish him and his family many years of good health, happiness, and success in retirement,” Eisenbach told Monsey Scoop.
