****************
Officer William Cuddhy began his law enforcement career in 2007 with the East Lansdowne Police Department but has worked for the Upper Darby Police Department since 2012. Bill worked in patrol for 3 years and has been assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division for the past 5 years. During his tenure with the Upper Darby Police Department, Bill has received numerous letters of commendation for his actions, his compassion, his work ethic and he can brag that he helped in the delivery of a healthy baby girl as well. To attest to his character, a former Captain of Bill, who is now a Chief in another agency, wrote me a letter when he heard Bill had applied. He had not seen Bill in over a year, but felt so strongly about Bill’s character, compassion and respect that he shows for everyone he deals with, he felt compelled to write an unsolicited letter of support for Bill.
Bill is married to Lisa and they have a one-year old son, Kip.
