While you are out with your friends, family, and loved ones enjoying and celebrating our nations independence, remember we all have a responsibility to keep our communities safe.
If you see something, say something. If in Town of Orangetown or Village of Nyack call 845-359-3700 for the Orangetown Police Department or Dial 911 immediately.
If you see:
- Unusual items or situations: A vehicle is parked in an odd location, a package/luggage is unattended, a window/door is open that is usually closed, or other out-of-the-ordinary situations occur.
- Eliciting information: A person questions individuals at a level beyond curiosity about a building’s purpose, operations, security procedures and/or personnel, shift changes, etc.
- Observation/surveillance: Someone pays unusual attention to facilities or buildings beyond a casual or professional interest. This includes extended loitering without explanation (particularly in concealed locations); unusual, repeated, and/or prolonged observation of a building (e.g., with binoculars or video camera); taking notes or measurements; counting paces; sketching floor plans, etc.
Some of these activities could be innocent—it’s important to consider the context of the situation. It's then up to law enforcement to determine whether the behavior warrants investigation.
Working in partnership together we can help keep our community safe.
