Ulster County Police Department Does Something for the First Time Ever

It was a monumental day for one Hudson Valley police department.

Most of us would agree that Hudson Valley law enforcement professionals are some of the best in the world! From New York State Troopers and the Sheriff's departments in Dutchess, Ulster, Orange, and Sullivan Counties, to town police in towns like Wappingers Falls, Poughkeepsie, Fishkill, Kingston, and Walden to name a few. The men and women that dedicate their lives to protecting ours are one of the most honorable things a person can do, right?

Ulster County Officer Just Became the 1st in the Department

One of the most active police departments in Ulster County is the department in Saugerties, NY. The officers in Saugerties do a fantastic job serving its residents and just last week the department did something for the first time ever according to the Crime Watch website.
