Reilly enlisted in the United States Army Reserve before joining the New York City Police Department, where he served 12 years and retired as a Lieutenant from Brooklyn's 90th Precinct.[1] He previously served as a volunteer member of the Staten Island YMCA's Board of Managers and coached the YMCA's youth baseball league.[1]
In 2009 Reilly became a volunteer member of Community Education Council 31, focusing on accountability and transparency at NYC public schools.[1] He served as the Council's president from 2014 until his election to the Assembly in 2018 and became an advocate for traffic safety around school zones.[1] According to his campaign website, his work with the council included advocating for Drug Recognition Expert training for NYPD officers to address drugged driving, and a school safety plan that he says drew national attention.[11]
