Southampton police lieutenant set to retire

Southampton Police Lt. Robert Iberger, who has often been the voice of the department on matters related to emergency preparedness, will retire at the end of the month.

Iberger joined the department in 1979. His retirement had been expected, town officials said.

Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst said she hopes Iberger will continue to work for the town on a contractual basis. Iberger has served for years as the town’s emergency preparedness coordinator.

He was not available for comment yesterday.
