Oh look! It’s a sweet treat!
Apparently yesterday was National Donut Day. We had no idea. Seriously.
So, with us having no idea (we can’t stress that enough), we were delighted when The Crisp Cannoli rolled in with this box of delightful donuts.
The generosity is appreciated.
Schodack PD is participating in the “Buckle Up New York, Click It or Ticket” campaign through May 31st.
Expect increased patrols and enforcement focused on seat belt and child restraint violations throughout the Town of Schodack.
Seat belts save lives.
The Schodack Police Dept. and Schodack PBA do NOT solicit donations by phone.
Residents have reported scam calls from individuals claiming to represent the department and requesting money.
Please be advised: the Schodack Police Department will never ask for donations by phone.
SPD Brookview Rd. Speed and Traffic survey is attached below.
A new survey in a different location will begin later this week. We will post survey reports as they are completed.
Stay safe. Drive carefully. Be mindful of your neighbors.
Last night, at a Schodack Town Board meeting, we had the pleasure of promoting Officer Joseph Favorito to the rank of Sergeant.
Since joining SPD in 2024, Joe has become an integral part of the SPD team.
The weather has improved and our speed calming trailer, Officer SLODOWN, is ready for deployment. Reach out to us if you have a location you feel could benefit from its presence.
Our March 2026 Activity Report is attached. New look, same content. Noticeable spike in domestic related incidents this past month. We also noticed a reduction in scam related complaints. Vehicle crashes have also declined, and this is likely weather related.
ARRESTED: Robert Friss, age 60, of Mechanicville, NY, was arrested following a proactive traffic stop investigation.
On Thurs, 3/12/26, members of the SPD conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle operated by Friss for a NYS VTL violation on Routes 9 and 20 in the Town of Schodack.
A K-9 search of the vehicle resulted in the discovery of a small quantity of crack cocaine along with packaging materials. Friss was taken into custody, and a subsequent search of his person led to the discovery of approximately one ounce of crack cocaine.
We’re excited to announce a new partnership between the Town of Schodack Police Department and Schenectady based company Transfinder!
SPD is going live today with the law enforcement specific software called Patrolfinder.
This partnership supports a more strategic and equitable approach to patrol deployment. By leveraging data, we can ensure our resources are allocated where they are needed most. This will improve response times, increase visibility in key areas, and strengthen community trust.
