Police Advisory Committee Community Information Project

The Croton-on-Hudson Police Advisory Committee is tasked with advising the Chief of Police on issues and concerns of interest to local residents, making recommendations regarding recruitment and training policies and practices, and organizing educational outreach initiatives to Village residents. 

The below articles were written by members of the Police Advisory Committee in collaboration with the Police Department to increase communication between the Police Department and the public.  Residents expressed a desire for more communication from the Police Department as part of the 2021 Community Survey on Public Safety and Law Enforcement. In response, members of the Police Advisory Committee gathered suggested topics of interest to residents, interviewed Croton Police Officers on those topics, and wrote articles to share the information with fellow residents.
