Unit 212
#throwbackthursday Circa 1989. The Deputy driving Unit 212 was about to take his dinner break at Papa John’s. Stopped on Route 9 waiting for north bound traffic to pass so he could make a left turn, this patrol unit was suddenly struck and thrown forward as the vehicle that struck it passed on the right and went off the shoulder. The Deputy suffer neck and back injuries, but returned to work a day later. We have always been (and will continue to be!) #putnamstrong! #putnamsheriffNY #putnamcountyNY #roadpatrol

The Putnam County Sheriff’s Office and Correctional Center lowered their flags to half-mast/half-staff in memory of those who have been lost to the Corona Virus/COVID-19, both in Putnam County, New York, and beyond. Every life is precious. May their memories be a blessing. #putnamsheriffNY #putnamcountyNY #weareallinthistogether
Jail
#FlashbackFriday
Circa 1996 a representative of the United States Marshall’s Service is seen here presenting Sheriff Robert D. Thoubboron of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department and County Executive Robert Bondi with a check for the housing of federal inmates. This was the first payment received by the US Marshalls for housing their inmates here in Putnam County. To this day we continue this relationship with our Federal partners. Stay safe folks and enjoy the weekend. #putnamsheriffNY #putnamcountyNY #putnamhistory #usmarshalls

Sheriff Warns of New Computer Scam

Thu, 04/30/2020 - 12:24
Crime

Putnam County Sheriff Robert L. Langley, Jr. reports that, since the work from home restrictions began during the COVID-19 Pandemic, law enforcement has seen an increase in computer scams.

One such scam involves an email from a suspect to a victim claiming that the suspect is in possession of recorded webcam video footage of the victim watching pornography. The suspect implies that he has malware/remote access to a victim’s computer to record video. The suspect then threatens to share the alleged footage with the victim’s Facebook friends and family unless the victim pays the suspect in the form of bitcoin payment. In the scam, the suspect often provides the victim’s valid, yet often old, password to prove that they had access to the victim’s computer. However, Langley explains, the password was likely obtained from an old data breach already on the dark web.

Sheriff Langley advises the community that if you receive such an email you: 1. Do NOT send any payment, 2. Do NOT click any links provided in the email. 3. Change the password for all services/websites that use the password mentioned by the suspect and 4. File a report with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. You can file such a complaint at WWW.IC3.gov. If you are a victim of such a scam that resulted in financial loss you can report such crime to the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office at (845) 225-4300.
