Corinth Village Board approves law enforcement and software contracts

Saratoga County's Public Safety meeting on May 7, 2025, resulted in several key decisions aimed at enhancing law enforcement and emergency services in the region.

The meeting opened with the approval of the minutes from the previous session, followed by a significant resolution to authorize a contract for law enforcement services in the village of Corinth. This contract will provide one patrol for a total cost of $170,360.07 for the year, a reduction from the previous year when two patrols were provided. This change reflects a strategic adjustment in resource allocation for local law enforcement.

Additionally, the board approved an amendment to a contract with Central Square, also known as TriTech Software, for the acquisition of identity management software related to the county's computer-aided dispatch and mobile 911 system. This investment amounts to $42,900 and is expected to enhance the efficiency of emergency response operations.

Another notable decision was the authorization for a pilot fleet lease program with Enterprise Fleet Management. This program will manage 43 unmarked vehicles for the sheriff's office at a cost not to exceed $25,000 for the year. The flexibility of this contract allows for discontinuation at any time, pending approval from the county attorney's office.

The meeting also addressed infrastructure needs, with a resolution to convey a permanent easement to Niagara Mohawk Power Corp and Verizon for access to maintain electric and communication facilities. This easement will facilitate the construction of a new Verizon communications tower behind the public safety building, generating $18,000 annually for the county.

These decisions reflect a proactive approach to public safety and resource management in Saratoga County, ensuring that law enforcement and emergency services are well-equipped to meet community needs. The board's actions are expected to have a positive impact on local safety and communication capabilities moving forward.
