Hudson Falls, NY. – The Study Steering Committee for the Police Services Study will present a draft version of its Existing Conditions Report at a public meeting scheduled for 7pm on Thursday May 23rd at the Hudson Falls High School Cafeteria at 80 East LaBarge Street in Hudson Falls. Residents are encouraged to come to learn more about the study. Departments examined in this report include the Hudson Falls Police Department, the Fort Edward Police Department and the Washington County Sheriff’s Department. Following the meeting, the Study Steering Committee will incorporate public comments into the final report on existing conditions. The Final Existing Conditions Report describes current services, and allows the study to continue by looking at promising opportunities for greater coordination and cooperation among the departments.
The Police Services Study project is being funded by a grant from the New York State Department of State’s Local Government Efficiency Grant Program. The study is being led by a Study Steering Committee appointed by the Hudson Falls Village Board, comprising residents and officials from the Village of Hudson Falls, the Village of Fort Edward, the Town of Kingsbury, the Hudson Falls School District and Washington County. Earlier this year, the Study Steering Committee held a kick-off meeting at Village Hall, where the study consultants, Tim Weidemann of Rondout Consulting and Peter Fairweather of Fairweather Consulting, introduced the study process and described several opportunities throughout 2013 for residents to learn more and voice their opinions.
