service or public safety actions per year
excluding daily traffic safety actions.

assist in providing dispatch communications and
logistical support.
- The Village of Red Hook provides 16 hours of
base police patrol services from 8:00am to
mid-night every day.
- Additional services are provided based upon
community needs and the availability of outside
resources such as grants for targeted public
safety and law enforcement activities.
- Police services are provided to Town of Red
Hook community members based upon yearly
contracted service agreements with the Village
of Red Hook.

provide a safe a secure learning environment for
our community youth and school employees.

instructors and specialists providing updated
skills and knowledge to Red Hook and other
police officers in Northern Dutchess and Ulster
County.

remained relatively constant in the last few
years while the department’s productivity levels

- Approximately 66% of the current operating
costs for providing police services to the Red

are offset by the combination of revenues
provided from grants, donations, outside
government services, and revenues generated by
court fines and fees from convicted offenders.
