If you mean that police chief, I would bet he’s a Democrat or Independent. If he was a Republican, that would be included in the first paragraph.

Can't say for sure what party Burke registered under but back in 2012 James Burke was appointed by newly elected (Democrat) Suffolk County-County Executive Steve Bellone. Belltone was warned of that Burke had a sordid background:

The letter included specific allegations of misconduct and warned Bellone to bypass the ex-Suffolk County police officer and district attorney chief investigator: Burke “was known to frequent prostitutes” and “committed at least one armed home invasion” to retrieve a service weapon stolen from him by a prostitute. He interfered with an Internal Affairs investigation into an officer accused of assault. He used damaging information gleaned from a wiretap as leverage to control Bellone’s predecessor, Steve Levy (who was a Democrat until he switched parties in 2010). And he “threatens subordinates with forced transfers, and tells them he is untouchable and that they have no protection and that he will ruin their career forever.”

You won't read the background history in any current reporting because the MSM is most likely hoping people will assume his is a Republican.
