Jose Borbon, 24, pleaded guilty in November to vehicular manslaughter and aggravated DWI.
Borbon's car smashed into a police cruiser driven by Suffolk County police officer Glen Ciano in Commack in February 2009.
Ciano was killed when his cruiser slammed into a utility pole and exploded.
Six weeks before the deadly wreck, Borbon had been released on bail for a separate DWI case in Nassau County.
