Vice Mayor Jerome S. "Jerry" McIntee
was born in Buffalo, N.Y. He and his wife, Maureen, have
been married for more than 36 years and have three children: Shannon,
an FBI agent who lives in Florida; Bridget, a pharmaceutical
district manager who resides in Indianapolis; and Jerome
III. McIntee bought his home in Bel
Air in 1987.
Vice Mayor McIntee’s public life began with an
exceptional career in the Buffalo Police Department. He
started as a young patrolman walking the beat and was soon
promoted to the Plain Clothes Division, where his
outstanding performance and abilities allowed him to serve
in numerous capacities.
As a certified expert and
seasoned investigator in arson and fire investigation, McIntee was assigned as the Chief of
the Arson Task Force at the Erie County District Attorney’s
Office. Part of his duties was to coordinate relationships
between the fire and police departments, forming
close-working ties between both professions.
While supporting a family
and working full-time, Vice Mayor McIntee graduated
in 1973 from the New York State University College at
Buffalo, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in
Criminal Justice. While this was an arduous project,
McIntee realized the importance of
education and made the sacrifices necessary to accomplish
this task.
As Chief Investigator on
the District Attorney’s Organized Crime Bureau,
McIntee worked closely with federal, state,
local and Canadian authorities. He investigated numerous
police corruption cases that resulted in multiple
indictments and the arrest of various public officials in
the course of his law enforcement career.
Promotion to Detective
Sergeant gave Vice Mayor McIntee the opportunity to
command the Bomb and Arson Squad as the department’s Bomb
Disposal expert. Eventually a promotion came to lieutenant
and Commissioner McIntee became the first Commander of the
Commissioner’s Confidential Squad,
working and reporting solely to the Police Commissioner. In
one 14-month period, he arrested four separate armed bank
hold-up perpetrators. This record still stands intact today.
McIntee retired as a dedicated public
servant and one of the City of Buffalo’s most decorated
police officers in the department’s history.
After his retirement Vice MayorMcIntee became President of International
Fire Investigations, which eventually evolved into
International Field Investigations, Inc. His professional
talents were so varied he was in demand throughout the East
Coast and Canada to perform his investigative skills.
Vice Mayor McIntee’s
retirement has never really come. He had an idea for years
and that idea turned into a patent which turned into a
corporation, McJon Extrication Blankets, Inc. McIntee serves
as Chief Executive Officer of this booming business.
Vice Mayor McIntee has extensive backgrounds in fire and police management and
operations. His education at numerous universities and
academies – as well as his extensive experience – is a
perfect fit for his job as Town Commissioner.
History often repeats
itself. McIntee served the public in his
first career and, in his final career, is again serving the
public as Lauderdale-By-The-Sea's Vice Mayor.
