Summary
Lieutenant ProProto and the fire chief reported recent public‑safety incidents and training; trustees announced community events including Earth Day, Launchapalooza, the Memorial Day parade, and noted a $287,500 NYSERDA grant that may fund municipal energy projects.
At the April 21 meeting the village’s police and fire leadership and trustees reported on public‑safety activity and upcoming community events.
Police highlights: Lieutenant ProProto summarized calls for the past month, including a March 29 incident where detectives and a county mobile health crisis team assisted a resident who had barricaded himself and was later transported for treatment; several apartment burglaries reported in late March with investigators developing leads across jurisdictions; and multiple scam attempts involving large gift‑card purchases at CVS and Walgreens, one prevented by store staff. The lieutenant also reminded residents not to leave children or pets unattended in vehicles and said the department’s next “Coffee with a Cop” event runs April 29 from 8:30–10:30 a.m. He noted the filming of a TV episode in the village that will air April 29 on CBS at 10 p.m.
Fire department and safety: The fire chief described participation in a regional hazardous‑materials exercise and the seasonal deployment of Marine 34 in Long Island Sound for water rescues and maritime incidents.
