New West New York Public Safety Director Alejandro DeRojas is earning an annual salary of $200,000, double that of his predecessor, Business Administrator Luis Baez said.

Baez disclosed the salary of the former deputy police chief, who served on the force for 29 years before retiring in January, following an inquiry from HCV.
The West New York Board of Commissioners appointed DeRojas as their new director of public safety at a special meeting on September 6th. At the time, a town spokesman did not return an email asking what DeRojas’ compensation would be.
The North Hudson municipality had been without a public safety director since January 2020, when Public Safety Director Mark Flores, a former police captain, stepped down after just five months on the job, as HCV first reported.
He was hired at a starting salary of $100,000.
omg..
This Guy is the worst! Disgrace. Keep giving control to the Problem guys.. WNY will never be right.. MOVE OUT!
WNY Needs real Police. Not hacks for decades.
How the hell do you give a guy that put a police Capt in charge in charge of kids, then steals money! These guys were attached to the hip and you reward him with this kind of money what the fuck are you doing Albio. But I guess it’s business as usual steal more money from hard working town people and give it to kiss ass police officers who have hurt people in their own dept a long the way . You’re a Disgrace Albio Sires I guess you got that money from Menendez for years of kissing his ass. You all need to go to jail.
How do you reward a guy who in 40 years did absolutely nothing as a cop. He hid every time there was a real call for help. He was never proactive as a cop , he just got by the day he didn’t care about the people of WNY as long as he got paid . You idiots give money to a guy who for years fooled all you idiots in the Mayors office. Now you’re paying $500,000 to 2 cops who were useless during their careers , I hope you got money for the real cops when they ask for a raise . It’s time to RECALL Albio Sires before he steals even more money. Why don’t you check the two main earners time book I’m sure you will see the corruption .
So Corrupt WNY. Just keep giving the Keys to criminals to loot town.
PO’s are not happy in that dept. Not what they signed up for.
You give 2 guys more than half a million dollars and they never did anything for the people of Wny . These 2 guys SANTI and your director use to be working at their flower shop while they were suppose to be working at the police station . No one said a word not even crooked Director Antolos who knew the whole time but he kept quiet because they gave his wife a job at the school These two guys scam you out of thousands of dollars and you reward them , sounds to me Albio like the Cuban Mafia doing business as usual you crooked fish !
