Over the past 20 years, Quatrone has served with the Bergen County Prosecutor's Arson Investigations Unit. He's also been a trainer and consultant on police entry and supervisory exams.
He holds a Master's in Education Administration and Supervision from Seton Hall University (1999) and a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice from Stockton University (1991), where he was an NCAA Division III lacrosse player.
Quatrone worked his way through the ranks, mostly in the Detective Bureau, rising from sergeant to lieutenant to captain before becoming deputy chief.
He was also an Internal Affairs investigator and supervisor.
