The public‑safety section of the meeting included a monthly report and discussion of emergency notification systems and recent incidents.

A public‑safety presenter identified as Jeremy gave monthly statistics: "we made 81 civil attempts, served 53 civil papers, issued a 120 traffic tickets, investigated 48 traffic accidents, made 48 arrests and 4 DWI arrests," and said the jail population rose from 29 to 31 during December. He detailed transports, emergency drills and mutual‑aid activity and commended deputies for their work on a double murder–suicide off Cara Junction Road.

Officials discussed how the county's reverse‑9‑1‑1 and mass‑notification capabilities work and who authorizes messages. Emergency‑management staff said the incident commander and emergency management office coordinate messages; staff also said that remote training is under way so deputies can trigger notifications if primary staff are unavailable.

Members raised concerns about an AI social‑monitoring app identified in the transcript as "Scribe Radar" (also referenced as "Urban Aid"), which officials said often picks up and misinterprets first transmissions and can spread inaccurate alerts. An emergency‑management official said the app "...basically interprets the transmission, and it often misinterprets it," and that industry‑specific codes and jargon often cause errors. Officials said reverse‑9‑1‑1 and forced‑wireless alerts can be sent when the incident commander specifies the area and the protective action (shelter in place, evacuate, etc.), and urged residents to sign up for county systems.

The sheriff's office and 9‑1‑1 center reported December workload numbers: 597 EMS calls, 175 fire calls, 1,751 police incidents, and a total of 3,156 events handled; there were 45 text‑to‑911 interactions (12 text to 911 events with five actual uses outside testing). Emergency‑management staff said February's public‑safety meeting will include a presentation from the office of fire prevention and control on battery‑storage facilities and associated fire risks.

On EMS coordination, members asked why Green EMS or other town ambulance services were or were not approached as supplemental providers; a county official identified as Sean said Wyndham and Catskill ambulance administrations were contacted after the meeting date and that he had reached out to those administrations to ask whether proposals had been brought forward.

The transcript records a series of operational and procedural follow‑ups; no formal public‑safety motions were taken at this time beyond routine committee acceptance of monthly reports.
