Investigator Sgt. Keith Allison, 52, of Brentwood, died on Thursday, Dec. 17, after being hospitalized last week, said Sgt. Paul Spinella of the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office.
Allison, who would have turned 53-years-old next week, began his career with the department in 1995 and celebrated his 25th year of service this past February.
After a short period of time as a correction officer at the Riverhead Correctional Facility, Allison began working for the Personnel Investigations Bureau, conducting background investigations and interviews for new employees, both uniformed and civilian, Spinella said.
He later became the Commanding Officer of the Personnel Investigations Bureau and was promoted to Investigator Sergeant in 2018.
Because of his long tenure with the Personnel Investigations Bureau, Allison helped many of the current Sheriff’s Office employees through the hiring process.
"He will be missed by all," the department said.
Allison leaves behind his wife, Brenda, his children, Alicia and Darius, and his granddaughter Ava.
"I am deeply saddened by the loss of Inv. Sgt. Keith Allison's said Suffolk County Sheriff Dr. Errol D. Toulon. "He was an excellent officer, a husband, father, and grandfather who was deeply committed to his family and the Sheriff's Office. We all have heavy hearts on his passing."
