Flashback Friday - Ready for Camp

Fri, 01/24/2020 - 18:57

#FlashbackFriday this week finds us in August 1986 with Sheriff Thoubboron and Sgt. MacCrae greeting area children before they go to the NY State Sheriffs Summer Camp in Yates County, NY. The camp gives families who may not have the means to send their children to camp the opportunity to do so at no cost. The camp is funded by the NY State Sheriffs Association through generous donations from around the state. It continues to this day providing children with a lifetime of memories. #putnamsheriffNY #putnamcountyNY #putnamhistory #nystatesheriffsassocation @nyssheriffscamp

Thank You for Your Support

Wed, 01/22/2020 - 12:09

A Message from Sheriff Langley:
Thank You
I would like to thank everyone for their support of and concern for our Deputy who was injured Monday morning.

Both of his surgeries went well. The damage was more extensive than originally thought but the skilled surgeons at New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital were able to repair the damage. His prognosis for a full recovery is good.

Our brave Deputy was discharged from the hospital this morning amongst great fanfare with members of his Department, local law enforcement-including a helicopter fly over from the Westchester County Police, K9s, first responders and hospital staff lining the lobby. He is now resting comfortably at home.

We are very fortunate to have such a supportive community. The Deputy extends his gratitude to everyone who sent their good thoughts and prayers and for their good wishes.

Charles J. Moore - Rest In Peace

Sat, 01/11/2020 - 14:10

It is with deep sadness that the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office notes the passing of Charles J. (Charlie) Moore, born in Cold Spring, New York. Mr. Moore had resided in Putnam County most of his life, most recently in Kent.

He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at age 17 in September 1962 and served more than four years and was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. During his last tour of duty in the Republic of Viet Nam, Sergeant Moore was seriously wounded and received the Purple Heart Award and was retired from the United States Marine Corps on January 1st, 1967.

Shortly thereafter, he joined the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department in March of 1967 and has served in various duty assignments since that time:

  • Uniform Road Patrol Division
  • Plainclothes Undercover Assignments
  • Director of the Sheriff’s Underwater Search and Rescue Team
  • Sheriff’s Special Weapons Tactical Assault Team Sniper
  • Sheriff’s Communications Division
  • Youth Bureau Coordinator and Youth Toy Drive Founder

During Mr. Moore’s twenty years of service to the Sheriff’s Department and the residents of Putnam County, he had received numerous Awards and Commendations for Outstanding Service as a Police Officer and Community Resident.

Mr. Moore retired from the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department on June 12th, 1987.

Last May, the Department dedicated one of their Marine Unit patrol boats in his honor among great fanfare. It was a special day for all who attended.

We extend our condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. May he Rest In Peace and may his memory be a blessing. We will never forget you Charlie. Godspeed, Your friends at #putnamsheriffNY

Among those released was 40-year-old Javier Lorenzano-Fercano who was charged with leaving the scene of a fatal automobile accident, a Class “D” Felony.
