In February of 2013, Granmoe was promoted to Lieutenant and transferred to Troop A, SP Jamestown, to be the Zone 3 Assistant Zone Commander.  In September of 2013, Granmoe was assigned to Troop B as the Office of Emergency Management Lieutenant and he participated in several local disasters and serious emergencies, including serving as the Incident Liaison Officer throughout the search of Clinton Correctional Facility escapees, Richard Matt, and David Sweat.

In June of 2020, Granmoe was assigned as Troop B, Zone 1 Assistant Zone Commander in Plattsburgh.  In June of 2022, he was promoted to Captain-BCI and assigned to the Professional Standard Bureau Central Regional Office in Liverpool, NY, before being assigned as the new Zone 1 Commander in Plattsburgh. Captain Granmoe will oversee all the Troopers and Sergeants assigned to work the State Police stations located in Clinton and Franklin counties.

Before his State Police service, Captain Granmoe served in the U.S. Army as an Infantry Paratrooper with combat service in Southwest Asia and has several deployments to locations all over the globe.  Captain Granmoe continued his military service in the U.S. Army reserves until February of 2011, when he retired as the First Sergeant of B Company, 1-391 st Instructor Unit, then located in Colchester, VT, and holds numerous awards for his military service.

He and his family have lived in the local community for over 25 years, and he looks forward to continuing to serve the communities of the North Country and carrying on the tradition of providing the best possible State Police service to its residents.
