Police Departments In Dutchess, Orange, Ulster Win State Grants

HUDSON VALLEY, NY — Grants for new technology were awarded to the sheriff's offices and most of the police departments in Dutchess, Orange and Ulster counties Monday from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.

The funding will support a variety of equipment, including but not limited to license plate readers, mobile and fixed camera systems, computer-aided dispatch systems, software, unmanned aerial vehicles, gunshot detection devices and smart equipment for patrol vehicles and police officers.

The state provided $127 million in the new budget to police departments and sheriffs’ offices outside of New York City for new technology and equipment. In all, 378 law enforcement agencies responded to the state’s application for funding last fall.

It's part of record-level investments in public safety and criminal justice funding in the FY25 Enacted Budget, state officials said, including additional funding to target retail theft, combat gun violence and domestic violence, and fund community-based programs that serve victims and survivors of crime.

"By investing in the latest technology and equipment, we’re responding to the requests of law enforcement agencies as they look to safeguard the future of our state," Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
