Meet Me at the Cove: Bill McCarthy, Neighborhood Cop

Officer McCarthy has an uncanny talent for brightening anyone’s day with a simple hello.

Bill McCarthy has been a dedicated member of the Lakewood City Police Department for 22 years. He has served as a Neighborhood Police Officer since January 2022, bringing his extensive experience and warm personality to the community.

A U.S. Army veteran, Officer McCarthy joined Lakewood PD in 2000 and has served in many capacities. We like to think his current role at Cove Community Center is his most rewarding. His favorite part of being at Cove is interacting daily with community members of all ages, from infants to seniors. Known for his humor and friendly nature, Officer McCarthy has a knack for brightening anyone’s day with just a greeting.

Off duty, Officer McCarthy loves the outdoors, especially fishing. Next time you’re in the Cove, be sure to say hi to Officer Bill McCarthy!
