Hertman - Chief of Police -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOWN OF WALLKILL POLICE DEPARTMENT TIP LINE We recognize that many people are reluctant to notify the police about their suspicions, concerns, or even just their "gut" feelings about what they think is criminal activity, or maybe things that " just don't look right." Quite often, citizens' hunches turn out to be valuable information for us. If you have information that you feel we should know about, we encourage you to leave us an e-mail. Feel free to submit a tip, you can do so anonymously. If the information you have is of an urgent nature, it is important that you telephone someone in the department instead, because e-mail messages are not read on a daily basis. Any information that you provide us will be held strictly confidential. Your information will passed on to the appropriate division within our department. If you would like to have an officer return your message, you may leave your telephone number and someone will contact you as soon as possible. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOWN OF WALLKILL POLICE DEPARTMENT SUGGESTIONS Would you like to leave us a suggestion? Simply click here and let us know what's on your mind. The Town of Wallkill Police Department suggestions are generally read a least twice a week. Please allow us a reasonable amount of time to respond to your suggestion. If your communication is of an urgent nature, please telephone us instead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH Neighborhood Watch is one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fear. It fights the isolation that crime both creates and feeds upon. It forges bonds among area residents, helps reduce burglaries and robberies, and improves relations between police and the communities they serve. As a member of Neighborhood Watch, you make a vital contribution to the safety of your family, home and community. You are encouraged to be aware and to act as the "eyes and ears" of the police. Neighborhood Watch consists of two basic steps: 1. Reporting suspicious and criminal activity to the police. 2. Engraving and making an inventory of your valuables. The real keys to this program, however, are getting to know your neighbors and sharing with them the responsibility of protecting your neighborhood. If
you live in one of these areas and are interested in joining neighborhood
watch, please give us a call. |
