Putnam County to Participate in Statewide STOP-DWI Fourth of July Crackdown Enforcement Effort

Tue, 07/02/2019 - 15:59
Stopdwi

Putnam County Sheriff Robert L. Langley, Jr, Town of Carmel Police Department Chief Michael Cazzari and Town of Kent Police Department Chief Kevin Owens announced today that their agencies will participate in a special enforcement effort to crackdown on impaired driving.

The statewide STOP-DWI Crackdown efforts start on July 3, 2019 and will end on July 7, 2019. The Fourth of July extended weekend is historically a deadly period for impaired driving. This year the 4th of July falls on a Thursday so we expect heavy traveling to begin on Wednesday July 3, 2019 and festivities to run through July 7, 2019.

Americans love to celebrate the Fourth of July with family, friends, food and fireworks, but all too often the festivities turn tragic on the nation’s roads. The fact is this iconic American holiday is also one of the deadliest holidays of the year due to impaired-driving crashes.

The Hope Not Handcuffs program is coming to Putnam County and we need volunteer ‘Angels’ to continue its success!
Angels are needed to serve the following locations:
Putnam County Sheriff’s Department
Town Of Kent NY Police
Carmel Police

What is Hope not Handcuffs?
Hope not Handcuffs is an initiative aimed at bringing law enforcement and community organizations together in an effort to find treatment options for individuals seeking help for addiction. A person can come into a participating police department and ask for help.
They will be greeted with compassion and respect. An Angel volunteer will be called to assist with paperwork and provide support until a treatment option is found.
If you are interested in becoming part of the Hope Hot Handcuffs team, you can complete an online application via the link in profile through the weekend.
Angels can choose their own volunteer time slots.

Deputy Sheriff Victor Cappuzzo

Sat, 06/29/2019 - 11:37

We had a visitor today, Thursday 6/27/19. Former Deputy Sheriff Victor Cappuzzo. Victor was a deputy sheriff under Sheriff Frank Lyden around 1965. Victor stopped by for a visit and to reminisce about the old days. Victor described Sheriff Lyden as a great man and a great man to work for. Victor worked with Deputy Ernie Eizenhoffer and a future sheriff, Raynor Weizenecker, just to name a few. Amazed about how things have changed here in Putnam County and with the sheriff’s department in particular, Victor shared stories about what it was like to supervise six inmates shaving with straight razors, all at the same time, while he was all alone and unarmed. Victor, we hope you enjoyed your visit as much as we enjoyed having you. Thank you for your service and contribution to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office. And thanks for stopping by! #putnamsheriffny #putnamcountyny #putnamhistory #oldfriends

A Special Statement from the Sheriff's Department

Fri, 06/28/2019 - 13:10
Independence Day

Independence Day is just around the corner. While we are enjoying the festivities with friends and family, let us be mindful of our veterans and refrain from the use of fireworks that may cause unnecessary stress to those who valiantly served to protect our freedoms and now suffer from PTSD.

For those of us with pets, please be responsible and leave your pets at home safely secured indoors. Our pets do not understand what the loud explosions are or where they come from and think to look for a safer location. It is not uncommon for a pet to break out of your home through a screen door or window in an attempt to escape from the noise.

We would also like to remind everyone that fireworks are not permitted with the exception of sparkling devices which are ground based or hand held and produce a shower of sparks. Other effects may include a colored flame, smoke, a crackling sound, or a whistle effect. They do not rise into the air like Roman candles nor do they explode.

Let’s all have a safe and happy Fourth of July!
Sheriff Robert L. Langley, Jr.

Deputy Sheriff Frank Zeller

Thu, 06/27/2019 - 13:11

For this week’s #throwbackthursday photo, we feature Deputy Sheriff Frank Zeller, PC-34. Frank was a 1966 graduate of Brewster High School and a member of the BHS football team. In the Police Academy, Frank earned the distinction of achieving best shot, best notebook and best all around. While on patrol, Frank developed a reputation of being a stern, but fair Deputy. Frank gained the respect of the citizens he served and that of his fellow brother and sister law enforcement officers with whom he served. Frank Zeller, just another one of the many deputies that helped us get to where we are today. ca. 1977. #putnamsheriffny #putnamcountyny #putnamhistory #thewaywewere
