Greg Veitch

Greg Veitch retired as Chief of Police in Saratoga Springs, New York after a twenty-five year career in law enforcement. He is a fifth generation Saratogian and has written several articles and given public presentations on the history of crime, gambling and corruption in Saratoga Springs from the founding of the village through the 1950's. His first book, All the Law in the World Won't Stop Them tells the true story of the struggle between the forces of vice and the forces of law and order in Saratoga before the prohibition era. His second book, A Gangster's Paradise recounts true tales of crime, violence, gambling and corruption in the Spa City from Prohibition to the Kefauver hearings in the 1950's. From gangsters both locally grown and nationally known, these are the true stories of Saratoga's nefarious past. He and his wife Jen have five children and one grandchild.
