NNI will be celebrating 50 years as Fairfield County’s oldest active nonprofit affordable housing developer and manager in 2017. McKoy brings to the NNI board a wealth experience in community policing, knowledge of Stamford’s neighborhoods and a history of giving back through service with numerous community organizations.
A Stamford resident, McKoy served with the Stamford Police Department from October 1974 through July 2001. He was promoted through the ranks from patrolman to deputy chief and commanded, supervised or served with every major division of the department. He then served as chief of support services, assistant chief of police in Hartford until his retirement in 2011.
A member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, and the F.B.I. National Academy Associates, McKoy has served on the boards of directors for the Stamford YMCA, Stamford Child Care Center, Truglia Thumbelina Fund Foundation, the Connecticut Community for Drug Free Youth, the Stamford Mayor's South End Neighborhood Revitalization Zone and the Stamford Mayor's Community Oriented Policing and Problem Solving Task Force.
McKoy served with the U.S. Army and received an honorable discharge at the rank of sergeant in 1969. A graduate of Iona College with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice administration, and the F.B.I. National Training Academy, McKoy holds certificates from the P.E.R.F. Senior Management Institute for Police at Harvard University and from the Command Training Program of the New England Institute of Law Enforcement Management at Babson College.
Founded in 1967 by Pat Marshall and other Stamford community advocates, NNI has been in the forefront of affordable housing for the city’s – and now the county’s – working men and women, families and low- and moderate-income seniors, and spearheaded community revitalization efforts.
